I don't believe their bullshit either, but they're damned good tasting
cookies. Johnny doesn't like the apple cinnamon ones much, so I'll
probably end up giving some/most of those to neighbors. Their
bullshit marketing is typical of what one would expect from industrial
cookie companies, but the ingredients are far better than what one
would expect from Nabisco. They're not--as I said--a healthful
breakfast item, but they are far better than most other carby snacks,
both nutritionally, and taste-wise.
