In the United States, in a legal sense corporations can be treated similarly to “people.” That being the case, the gigantic, agro-industrial corporations responsible for the vast majority of our over-processed foods may be referred to as proper Ass#$%!s. To all these nasty “people” I can utter one truly ominous word in regard to their perhaps less than rosy futures…..
“HOSTESS”
Crippling labor disputes aside, Karma’s a bitch! Where healthy food is concerned, for the enlightened the names “Wonder” bread, “Twinkies”, “Ho-Hos”, “Sno-Balls”, and “Ring Dings” are indeed – mud. For us, they are lower than worthless. They represent toxic “faux-foods” of the worst kind.
Yes, it’s true that some other processed food company may buy the rights to these awful names. While the sales of these once popular processed food items have dwindled, unfortunately there are still some poor unenlightened souls who will continue to suffer the long term consequences of eating this garbage.
So, like processed food “brand Zombies”, these awful chemical creations of the food industry may continue to cause untold harm. Hopefully, the value of these brands will reflect the truth.
That would be that their true values are less than zero. We can only pray.
May Hostess Brands, among the others that will inevitably join them rest not in peace. That is, may they not be remembered fondly, but rather with disgust and disdain. More importantly, may they remain dead!
