Are Cheetos organic?

[deidreg]

A bit of a tangent...I call dried mealworms "Chicken Cheetos" to keep my husband from being grossed out by them. I always thought Cheetos were gross. Not enough pot growing up, I guess.

I know this is supposed to be a silly thread, but I wanted to add my two cents.

Not only does organic cost way too much for chickens, but my neighbor actually does research for formulating commercial feeds, and he says the environmental footprint for organic feeds is enormous. Almost all of the organic grains are grown overseas then must be shipped to the states, so the feed is often older than non-organic as well. Just something to keep in mind. I don't have any evidence for this, just going off of what he says. I will say this though, I no longer buy organic. Sometimes he drops off a bag or two of feed if he milled too much. He's been a great neighbor.

I've been enlightened here. I think I know how to get the chickens to eat the pellets they've been ignoring.

Personal experience here
I moved to the sticks and was kinda forced to stop eating garbage food. Lived off eggs, meat, vegetables, and the occasional buckwheat pancake(my bf is gluten-free). I have no desire to eat junk food anymore. It’s gross really. I thought I wanted Funyuns last month but they were nasty.

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.

That is the only thing I would do with a bag of Fritos.

Oh wow, what a fantastic neighbor! My little group of neighbors is great too. We might not hang out or coffee klatch, but if I had an emergency at 2 am, they would be there to help me. And likewise, me for them.

This is blowing my mind. I might have to buy a bag just to try it out!

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

Actually, they do make organic Cheetos and Doritos. Doesn’t mean they are good for you, though. I do enjoy the organic Doritos better than the regular bc they don’t have a harsh chemical taste.

Well, to start off with.. until the end of page 2.. I THOUGHT this discussion was on Cheerios! Which also are not organic.

@Eddie the Yeti, that person who said your eggs tasted organic and she can tell the difference.. um.. she might be an egg or two short of a full dozen! Please understand that shell thickness has to do with a lot of things including yes nutrition but more than that age of the bird, genetics, age of the eggs, how they were stored and so on. I use Flock Raiser with OS on the side, and I'm a treat tightwad.. my neighbors joke about my egg bouncing but not cracking.

Honestly.. my family thinks a LOT of things labeled as organic don't taste nearly as good. Another honesty.. whether you eat all organic or all synthetic.. you're STILL gonna die.. I haven't drank a drop of pure water in a decade.. But even those who drink only water every day are still dying while they point their finger at me!

Now Cheeto's.. I'ma go against the grain and say YUUUMMY! And I like those natural puffy ones too.

I liked Doritos and funyuns when I was younger but now.. they are meh at best. That holds true for a lot of things though.

I am making the switch when possible to LESS chemicals since more than half my immediate my family is dying or dead from cancer after being raised in California's central San Joaquin valley and coast where pesticides, herbicides, and agricultural dust abound.. breast x3, pancreas x2, liver, stomach, colon, Non smoker lung x2, cervical.. That's just off the top of my head.. Somebody's poisoned the water hole! (Toy Story head spin) My message to government, big pharma, big chicken, and big ANYTHING else... play nice..

Backpacking. Fritos and funyuns both weigh almost nothing. Doesn't matter much if they get broken/crushed. They go in a small bag with a lighter. and its good for starting damp wood.

Also, if you should find one a seagull missed on the shore, and want to have a beachside campfire, all 60s-like.
