Are Cheetos organic?

It was not your fault THEY don't want you to know

I hear ya.... but when the AARP, TDOT, and the canned meat industry team up it’s nearly impossible for the average chicken keeper to distill out the truth.

I have a friend who only feeds organic, the feed costs 5 times as much and he has to add oyster shell for extra calcium. His eggs are comparable but he often talks about how thin and fragile the shells are (sometimes puts his thumb through one as he picks it up).

Well, to answer this part: I feed organic and don't routinely have shell issues. Any birds that have had shell issues, it was simply a matter of them not wanting to eat the oyster shell provided, so I'd separate the bird in question, give her a private breakfast with oyster shell added in, and voila. If your friend has time to stalk his flock, he could probably try doing the same.

I get these cheetos and proceed to tell myself since they are "simply natural" that means I can eat whole bag in one sitting View attachment 2450384

They make natural Cheetos now!?!?!?

Keep a bag of Funyuns around. or Fritos. Doesn't matter if they get stale. they make EXCELLENT fire starters. Fritos are my preference though, they last longer.

I'm trying to imagine the situation in which I am desperate to have a fire, and yet also have a bag of Fritos and something with which to light them but don’t have any other options

so far I’ve come up with one scenario in which I am a cartoon...

and another in which I intend to hijack an armored truck full of cash during a Canadian blizzard, but accidentally swipe the Frito truck parked next to it, and then in a desperate attempt to evade the Mounties I drive off a secluded road and get stuck in a snow drift, and then have to find a way to stay warm until help arrives and I’m carted off to prison.

but don’t think I’m done pondering this just yet

OMG this is amazing!!!

I haven't tried to feed Cheetos to my chickens yet, but they do enjoy eating excess spray foam from doorways, which I don't think is organic, either.

Back in university days, when my cave was in a corner of the physics/chem building, EVERYTHING left in the break room to be shared was labeled “organic” (often in a gloriously fussy font). Until the Hostess Twinkies. Someone crossed out “organic” and wrote “Nice try”. So sad that was pre-cellphone-camera times.

I was in the life sciences. In our grad lab, there was a cork notice board, and fixed to it with a long pin was a Twinkie that was reputedly twenty years old. Other than being the color of mahogany and about as hard, it was still a whole Twinkie. It had not changed shape or rotted or showed any signs of mold.
