So Hostess will be closing after being around since 1930. It is a sad time for this American staple. I grew up with many a Hostess snack product either in my lunch or as an after school snack.
I am sad at the loss of jobs for all persons involved with the creation and delivery of these products.
My take: While I believe America should, in general, move towards healthier lifestyles, especially for kids, there is nothing wrong with a sugary snack as a "treat", in my opinion. Let me emphasize "treat" here (an every once in a while non-healthy snack) - a fruit pie is not a substitute for a severing of fruit and bread.
