No More Twinkies

Not that I personally was a big fan of Twinkies' (Hostess Brand) as an adult but as a kid, they have some sweet memories. It's been years since I had one, but there is something nostalgic that has died with the closing of this plant.

With our health-conscience culture, I understand people are eating less of these non-perishable snacks but that was not the reason for the closing of their doors.  The reason, you ask?  Well, honestly, the union.  Oh I know, some will say it's the greed of the CEO's who have taken great profits but isn't it also true that the union was being greedy too?  They were striking for better pay and now, 18,500 people are without jobs.  Wow.  Seems a bit foolish to me.

People want to point fingers in these days and everyone needs to start taking inventory and realize that we ALL have a part to play in America's successes or failures.  Healing needs to come to our land.
