Give Me Life

Today I will write about pop-tarts.

I know that most of the time, good writers introduce their subject with a little more subtlety, but honestly, pop-tarts are anything but subtle.

Ingredients: Enriched wheat flour, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, dextrose, oil, sugar.... and a whole heap of other things...

Nutrition facts: Fat-5grams, Carbs-38grams-- sugar 16grams... Protein, wait Sugar, 16 grams!

NO subtlety here. No, the corn syrup and sugar are printed clearly on the box, next to a large orange banner saying "Good source of seven vitamins and minerals."

Hmm.

I have nothing else to say, except... why do I like them?
