yes

 

Wife just brought some home. Pretty good!

 

I know there are many here who do the whole eat healthy thing but I just can't do it. I'd rather eat a pizza than a kale burger. blush

 

 

When I saw the thread title, thought the pastry princess was the latest celebrity to be accused of doing something nasty and wrong.

I figured she had a Roy Moore story.

Ha

>>>>..... accused of doing something nasty and wrong.

Some of those "cakes" can be nasty and wrong

Never will eat any cream filled Little Debbie cake again.

It's cool, Little Debbie's mom, Big Deb, gave her permission. 

 lil debbie is ok. I prefer tasytcakes.    mmmmmm.

i'll eat Debbie too in a pinch.

We used to buy the Little Debbie snacks day old 2 boxes for 1$.   That was at the gas station in Cherryfield ,Maine.   It was a migrant laborers dream come true.   We did ususally eat healthy, but...

There were many days we would not eat while working a 8-14hr day.  You could make more money working piece rate with an almost empty stomach.  The Maine Wild Blueberry grows about 6-12 inches of the ground like a purple carpet.  So bending over "raking" berries  with a bellyful is one way to slow down the mission.   

So we discovered Little Debbie "Granola" , it was garbage.    Mostly sugar.   But a handful of that magic mix every now and then throughout the day kept us going and kept the stomach gauge just above E....

We called it "Raker's Crack"   it seemed pretty adicttive. 

My buddy once said when offered the sinful treat, "John don't do Debbie"
