Rich cheese cake.
Whipped cream spilling unto the sides.
Chocolate and sugar topping.
Your pants will never close again after this! ;-)

Let Them Eat Cake
Do we pay attention or look away?
Do we even care?
Do we do anything about it?
As queen Marie-Antoinette said when told that her people were starving and had no bread, what did she say?
Let them eat cake!
Pray that we are better than that. ;-)

Rainbow Cake :)
Price is not bad for $3.99.
Calories are horrific at 750!
What happened to the broken blue part of the cake at the bottom--maybe that's where another 50 calories got lopped off.
Anyway, it's Friday and I want to wish everyone a happy Rainbow Cake weekend and a Shabbat Shalom!

Worst Passover Cake Ever
It's definitely not kosher for Pesach.
Not only is it made from chametz, but it's shaped like a chazer (i.e. pig) too.
This thing would be conceptually treyf even on the best of non-Passover days.
Does it have lard too?
I don't know for sure, but would it really be a pig cake if it didn't!
This lousy cake doesn't even have an ounce of chocolate in it--have you ever heard of a genuine dessert that tastes like the calorie count it adds up to be without chocolate?
I've heard of the callous calling people a pig for eating too much cake and being fat, but making the oink oink face directly on the cake itself--and on Passover--is not only insulting, but at $28.95, it's overpriced too. ;-)

Chocolate Turkey Delight
Gobs and gobs of white, milk, and dark chocolate.
And they actually shaped it all like a turkey.
Sort of cute, but also sort of sugary disgusting, no?
Generally, I'm not a huge fan of eating turkey either.
Maybe when they boil it in oil, and it's cooked through and through, it actually comes out juicy and not so bad.
But give me a nice piece of beef, and I'll be your pal forever!
A colleague who was a veterinarian and worked inspecting meat plants overseas told me some things about the cleanliness though that made my skin crawl.
"The cleanliness outside of the U.S. is WAY DIFFERENT than here!"--and not in a good way.
Even in places that do maintain clean facilities and healthy animals, the way that "they make the sausage" sounded so unappetizing.
It made me think of all those PETA and other commercials that show the chickens and other caged birds in those crowded and filthy (and diseased) conditions...even aside from the cruelty, it's enough to make you cringe.
He said they mash the meat until it's like just a pink paste that gets shot into the tubes for hot dogs and things like that.
"It looks disgusting!"
Also, they put parts of the animal in that are basically leftover meats from the head and other parts of the animal that did NOT sound desirable at all.
I'm thinking to myself...FROM THE HEAD.
Uh, no more hot dogs for me, thank you.
I think that I'll stick with a nice steak or burger or something KOSHER and palatable.
You can have your turkey and your sausage and eat it, but not me! ;-)
