I applaud folks eating organic, healthier, granola, etc., but don't delude yourself by thinking the people you hang out with are the average. Many people still eat white bread and yes, junk food. White bread is often cheaper than whole wheat and I can guarantee that rolls on most Thanksgiving tables were white. As we laugh at the Fox News bubble, don't live in one of your own. There is more competition today than Hostess used to have, but they still have a substantial market.
