I have to defend Fluff. Some moron at the State House has taken it upon himself to start a personal crusade against God’s favorite food, Marshmallow Fluff.
I buy it, and not for Junior. He doesn’t really eat peanut butter.
I buy it for me.
The part I need to set straight is the “sugar and chemicals” summary statements. Sugar, sure, but no chemicals. Here are the ingredients:
Corn syrup
Sugar
Dried egg white
Vanillin.
That’s it. No fat, no sodium. 15g of carbs, 9g of sugars.
So lets look at grape jelly. I have some Smuckers. Grape juice, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, pectin, citric acid and sodium citrate. That gives us no fat, 5mg of sodium, 13g of carbs, 12g of sugars.
So when will they be banning jelly? Side by side, Fluff is “better” for you.
stupid humans, have you nothing better to do? I have an idea – take the money you would spend trying to get this passed and add it back to the school lunch budgets. I can’t even feed my family a healthy meal on the pittance the cafeteria managers have to work with. That’s the REAL problem.
