Be healthy, eat crap

The Big Buy sized box of Pop-Tarts that I bought for the office this morning as a big old seal on the front which reads: "Child Nutrition Program Approved." On the side of the box it goes on to tell us that "This product qualifies for the USDA Child Caare Nutrition Program."

Pop Tarts? Are they fucking insane? Here are the first ingredients listed for Pop-Tarts... Strawberry Pop-Tarts: Corn Syrup. Brown Sugar-Cinnamon Pop-Tarts: Brown Sugar.

This is the natural evolution of "Ketchup is a vegetable." This is just gross. Shame on you, USDA.

According to the back of the box (convenient, that) wy down at the bottom of the ingredients of the "fruit" filling are dried strawberries, dried apples and dried pears. Apples and pears? You learn something new every day.
