    ...okay, maybe not so extreme, but I saw today on CNN something about some state or something trying to ban Oreos because of some hidden fat content that's really, really bad for consumers. Anyone know something about this?

    well before they ban oreos, they should ban things that are really bad for you,

    like alcohol, cigarettes, and stupidity ;)

    I heard about this on the radio. Strangely, recently I've been having a lot of cravings for Oreos...

    It'll soon be reported that being born is dangerous to your health, because it will inevitably lead to your death.

    The funny thing is - everything from plain white bread to Fruit By The Foot has the ingrediant Partial Hydrogenated Soybean Oil in it. Why do they mark Oreos out of tons of other food products? :confused:

    Saber: What exactly is the consequence of consuming that ingredient? :confused:

    And, the way I heard it was that many consumers don't realize that Oreos have that ingredient. So, my guess is that whoever's trying to ban Oreos is blaming Nabisco of concealing the fact that those cookies contain that ingredient. Or maybe the instigators are opposing Oreos because Nabisco doesn't abundantly advertise the fact that its products, such as Oreos, are unhealthy? :confused:

    I've heard that sometimes for some people that having milk or having bread can be bad for you, now this depends if you are lactose antolerent, I can understand but seriously, if you're one of those people that can just hog down anything you want then how come almost everything they make they're now saying that it's bad for you? You can't drink too much diet coke now, you can't drink too much regular Coke, and you can't have bread or milk in some cases?

    And now Oreos? You can't have Oreo's cuz they're supposed to be posion for you? Sorry, but that to me is just crazy!

    They can't ban Oreos! They are the chocolatey form of Cheetos! They are sacred! [face_plain]

    I still think that cheetos are better then oreos by a far, but I guess that that's besides the point because this is an Oreo thread, not a cheeto thread.

    Y'know what? I need sleep. [face_plain]

    Apparently if you eat a poppy-seed muffin and then take a drug test it'll turn up positive. Pretty cool in my opinion. :D

    You know it's bad when the most important thing these people have to worry about is how to ban Oreos. They say they have fat in them. Hmmmmmmm, last time I checked, that's been common knowledge for what, 100 years? They need to go out and get real jobs or at least try to get rid of things that actually matter.

    I too saw this last night on CNN Headline News. It has to do with the fat content of Oreos, which is unfortunately pretty high. Some form of a possible poison is also a factor in this matter.
