Lead was banned from use in paint since 1978. Has it been banned from Twinkies too?? They too are inert, right? I don't think a Twinkie would get flaky, so youngsters should not be at risk. I think you might be able to eat a Twinkie from 1978 with no ill effects. Probably still be moist. Do we really know what's in a Twinkie? Maybe they should be banned in case a ruffie should ingest a crumb of one and then be eaten by a large raptor. Could one get a government grant to study this further in order to protect our upland game bird and raptor resources? Can't be too careful when it comes to the risk posed by Twinkies.
