>> Just in case you were confused about this: Too much organic sugar and butter will make you fat. Apparently, some people think organic food means low calorie food. Rest assured that organic oreos too have a tendency to show up on your thighs.
>> That said, organic treats will likely do less health damage than the trans-fat filled, high fructose corn syrup-sweetened conventional counterparts. And it’s not just the desserts that contain these weird overprocessed ingredients. Grocery store California rolls have a lot of high fructose corn syrup, finds Chew-gooder Jessica, environmental nonprofit Heal the Bay.
>> Eden Foods has a recipe for an organic California roll minus the syrup — but that roll’s made sans the highly processed imitation crab meat — the ingredient perhaps most associated with California rolls — and most responsible for the syrupiness of the rolls. Can a California roll be a California roll minus the fake crab meat? Earlier: A Sustainable seafood guide for the digital age.
>> Pop tarts too are proudly made with high fructose corn syrup. You can avoid them by opting for somewhat less processed organic toaster pastries from Nature’s Path — or get even more hands-on with homemade pop tarts. (via Tiny Choices)
>> No time to DIY your corn-syrup-free concoctions? Stop by NiceCream, a new vegan ice cream shop in Studio City.
>> And for a cold organic treat that really does have much fewer calories than most of the organic ice creams and sorbets out there, pick up a jar of Truly Raw Gourmet.
I remember reading about some frivolous lawsuit about a woman who sued the manufacturer of Pirate Booty because it made her fat. Best I can recall, she bought it at a health foods store and assumed it was good for her. She would regularly eat an entire bag for a meal on the go.
I don’t remember if the article was about frivolous law suits or what your post is about.

Ha ha — That’s pretty funny. I liked the one where a woman sued Kraft because its “guacamole” had only like 2% avocado in it — That lawsuit actually kinda made sense :P
