How long have we been eating Twinkies

  • thaumasiotes 2 days ago

    Going by the ingredients list:

    sugar, wheat, barley, egg, soybean oil, starch, whey, salt, tallow

    These go back before the beginning of history. Quite a long time before.

    There are also quite a few additives and preservatives in a Twinkie.† If you're making a point about ultraprocessed food, you're definitely correct. If you're trying to make a point about basic foodstuffs, you aren't.

      Ultra processed over a very (relatively) short timeframe
