Hey, let's keep the "twinkie bashing" out of it, okay? I mean, what have those little cholesterol/sugar bombs done to you (besides obesity, diabetes, coronary disease, etc)?
The reason colonialists were so scrawney is that no one had the time to invent the Twinkie. They were too busy wasting time working on independence, building a nation, etc.
If they only had their priorities in order, they'd have enjoyed the Twinkie and Ho-ho long ago... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
