There was an article in the Guardian the other day about trans fatty acids which was pretty horrible in its own right. There is also news that both Los Angeles and New York are considering restricting their use in restaurants.
Buried in the article was mention of a nutritionist in Chicago who has a 22 year old Hostess cupcake to demonstrate how truly horrible these things are. Turns out that it's true.
I'm sure I must have eaten a Butterscotch Krimpet older than that. It's too bad they don't come in the waxed paper anymore. There was a real art to unwrapping them without the icing sticking to the paper. At least they're kosher now! (How did they ever sell in Northeast Philly if they weren't?
