I've been waiting for you to nail those stupid cookie ads!

It bothers me so much that companies put trans free and chemical free on a box and people will rush to buy their product. Free of those two things doesn't mean it's healthy!

If you read the ingredients the products are loaded with other potentially harmful ingredients. Why don't companies just market their products as treats?
