Happy National Twinkie Day!
Yesterday, I talked about eating healthier, and today is National Twinkie Day. Twinkies are my favorite Hostess treat. When I was a kid, I had a Twinkie in my lunch box every school day. They are awesome.
I’m not going to eat any Twinkies today, but I am going to listen to one of my favorite books. Twinkie, Deconstructed by Steve Ettlinger is only loosely about my favorite snack cake. Instead, it’s about all the ingredients found in our food.
The author took the Twinkie ingredient list, researched where each item came from, how it was made, and why it was used. From flour to calcium sulfate, he removes the fear and provides the facts, which is far more fascinating.
Unfortunately, there isn’t a Kindle version of this book, and the print book is pricy. However, you can listen to the book in Audible (that’s what I do), and it’s well done.
