Dirtyhip Posted July 31, 2019 Share #1 Posted July 31, 2019 ? So went shopping for camp food yesterday. Needed to buy some junk and bread for noshing on. Every single package of cookies left me feeling very offended by the food and grocery industry. Two reasons, 1) the packaging 2) The host of vile ingredients I can't even understand. This angers me. I demand an apology from the food industry people like Nabisco, Orowheat and the like,. So, I made my own cinnamon rolls, bread and cookies (Long fermented sourdough cinnamon rolls, and some peanut butter cookies. I did cave and bought a pre-made loaf of sourdough that was less vile than the rest. Still, the prices, the packaging and the constant addition of corn in my cookie made me mad at the grocer and the industry. Just stop it with the garbage and plastic clamshell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur ★ Posted July 31, 2019 Share #4 Posted July 31, 2019 Food rants are funny. The simple solution is, don't buy them. There are organic cookies out there, especially in Oregon! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoseySusan Posted July 31, 2019 Share #11 Posted July 31, 2019 Pre-made, carry-out and grocery store bakery is the way of it with my school community. When my debate team hosts its annual tournament, we provide a hospitality room for our volunteer judges, and parents send in food. Not a home baked item to be found. It’s all Costco, Dion’s Pizza, Jason’s Deli, and individually wrapped snack packs. Disheartening. This is a high school of 1800 students, and all of them are learning how to purchase and trash instead of how to produce and reuse. It wasn’t that long ago that parents would donate home cooking in a container we’d wash and send back home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raw cookie dough is the best thing ever, way better than the finished product. Not even close. The raw flour on bread is gross, agreed.

Barney Miller is on Antenna TV many evenings and while I don't really care for the show now (I did when it was in original broadcast) if I'm flipping through the channels and hit Barney Miller and Harris is talking I'll usually stop to listen to his part.
