A pack of Raisinets, please:

“Beware the Tubbocorn, my son!
The oils of fat, that clog like that!
Beware the tasty treat, and shun
The greasy butter vats!”

You should definitely read the whole thing. It’s downright frumious.

    Heh. But isn’t the CSPI beginning to recycle their fear-stories? I seem to remember an OMG POPCORN OF DEATH story from 5 years ago or so.

    Someone should keep a list. I can’t remember now if it’s Girl Scout Cookies or Chinese food they will go after next, if they’re following the established script.

    Did they discover that whatever got substituted for coconut oil is now worse than coconut oil, or did they discover that coconut oil isn’t really even half as bad as the substitute?

    My money would be on the latter. Seems 99% of the things that Will Kill Us All™ are only lethal until the next news cycle, then they become downright warm and cuddly.

    I tend to think that a certain percentage of those “Will Kill Us All” stories are authored by people who are horrified to think that someone, somewhere, might be enjoying themselves.

    Why thank you, Charles for that unusual word of approval. The word is rare, I mean, not the approval ;-)
