Or perhaps dark chocolate pre-studded with almonds? :)

It is funny how our palates have been trained and even addicted to the processed mess has to offer. I was never a fan of Oreo cookies. When presented to me; I would always pull them apart, scrape the white stuff off and just eat the cookie. Now if offered one I would politely say no thank you! I agree that even when something is organic yet processed is still bad; but, processed with organic ingredients free of corn syrup and other harmful ingredients is better then the real Oreo on occasion. Personally I prefer a small piece of fair trade dark chocolate with a hand full of almonds any day.
Namaste,
Chef Vanda

I guess my “sinfully delicious” desires are somewhat different :) Right now, I’m craving — wine –

I am sitting here eating REAL oreos for breakfast while reading these blogs. I am a little embarrased (of course) for eating oreos of all things for breakfast (especially while reading an “organic blog”, but I do agree with Rafi that you should “go big or go home”. And by that, I mean eat something sinnfully delcious from time to time, but try to stick to the home or locally grown stuff when you can :)

The erosion of the definiton of “organic” in the dairy industry’s become a real prob in the US. Gotta fight back –

I think I was most intimidated by just how many oreos there were. Seriously — a package is really a lot of cookies! Unless one has like 10 or so children or lives with a large extended family, I’m not sure how one can finish a box without having them go stale, bulimia not withstanding.

Well, it’s nice to have the choice of organic junk.

But I FRIMLY believe that if you are going to eat junk food, it better be GOOD and TASTY! So I’d rather splurge on a delish cupcake or homemeade cookie than on an oreo, organic or otherwise….

But that’s just me!

I think it’s an oxymoron too! It’s crazy that we criticize these processed types of food and then organic companies try to mimic them. I’m all about eating fresh, local, and when possible organic food, but I also believe that some things are just better not having (whether they be organic or processed). If one wishes to have an Oreo, have one! I’m not saying eat every bad thing for you, but one cookie isn’t going to kill anyone. If someone is totally against the idea of giving into this processed form, I applaud you. Otherwise, what’s the harm in one good cookie vs. five bad?

FYI- I read this in Vegetarian Times . The “organics” line from Vons/ Pavilions isn’t really organic. The cows are milked more than 2 times per day and are not allowed out to graze as often as they are supposed to be.
Thought you’d be interested! :)
