HEALTH & FITNESS | HEALTHY STUFF WE HEART

Better stockpile your snack cakes! Hostess closes up shop

 
OK, we know this isn’t really healthy news—although it might help trim kids’ waistlines, now that we think about it—but it’s a milestone nonetheless. So, here it is: Hostess, the makers of Ho Hos, Twinkies, Cupcakes, Donettes, Wonder Bread and more deliciously processed goodies are closing up shop.

 

Why (oh, why, oh, why?!) you ask? Because the bakers are on strike seeking better terms for their new contract, and the struggling company just can’t afford to keep running. Because of this, nearly 18,500 workers are being laid off, something that’ll hit the economy far harder than the dwindling Ho Hos supply.

 

But don’t freak out, Twinky devotees: There’s a good chance your favorite plastic-packaged goodies will hit shelves once again since the company is for sale. There’s just no telling when (or if) production might resume.

 

Moral of the story? Grab your guilty pleasures at the grocery store now before they’re gone. Or, you know, whip up a way healthier version yourself.

 

‘Fess up: What’s YOUR favorite not-so-good-for-you treat?

I used to resent Twinkies, now I regret never eating them. Frown But those CupCakes were the best ever! And Donettes? I LOVE those! They were the best breakfast on-the-go treats ever! I'm very sad but I'll be skinnier. Frown It's not going to be the same though.

Here's what I think will happen as a result:

November 18, 2013

Breaking news! Obesity rates have dropped 21%. Researchers have claimed it was a result of the closing of Hostess in 2012.

I mean, seriously? Your life will probably improve as a result of this.

Please excuse my username, I was 10.

ok so i wake up at 6-6:10 in the morning and i'm 12. what time do you think i should go to bed at night? thanks!

 

Hey girlie, I would suggest going to bed around 10. That way you get 8 hours of sleep, and you should wake up feeling well rested.

Save your workout for when your fave TV show is on. Watching PLL while exercising will keep you distracted the whole hour. You’ll get in shape without even noticing!
 
Ah, Memorial Day Weekend, could you get here any slower?! You...


 
 

I should weigh myself frequently so I can manage my diet accordingly.
