My brother's wife posted this link on Facebook a few minutes ago. While she and I usually struggle to get along amicably, this is one area where we usually agree. DON'T BE DUPED BY PRODUCT LABELS!!!

I especially loved this excerpt:

"Why does Wonder Bread contain Datem and/or Azodicarbonamide? Because its manufacturers want it to have a shelf life that extends beyond the apocalypse. That way when the zombies run out of brains to eat they can still buy Wonder Bread."

    That, and it tastes absolutely delicious. I like to sprinkle datem on my vegetables.

    I like the idea of my food living longer then I do. It ensures my survival.

    I know what it is. I just thought including a comment about the shelf life of Wonder Bread post dating the zombie apocalypse was genius. I LOL'd.
