From Business Week: Hostess in a statement today blamed the latest bankruptcy on a weak economy and costs tied to pension- and medical-benefit obligations. The Irving, Texas-based baker intends to withdraw from pension plans and modify collective-bargaining agreements with unions, according to court documents.

What will happen to the Twinkies?!

It seems these days everybody's blaming worker pensions, even though it's also obviously financial mismanagement. I'd like to see the real reasons on how Hostess got itself into a nearly billion dollar hole.

if every junk food company would go bankrupt america would be better off

That would be a dream.

People who want to live long and healthy lives and look as good as possible!

I rarely eat any junk food. When I do have something unhealthy I'd rather it be a beer or some pizza or a burger etc. than junk food snacks. Never cared much for sweets, potato chips etc.

This is true. Now if you're a fat who can't control him/herself and eats like a swine bastard, then yes, there's a problem with your choices. This applies to everything though, not just Hostess stuffs mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm damn

How so? Wouldn't America be better off if everyone could intake unhealthy food in moderation rather than cut it off from everyone altogether?

That would work too. Either is acceptable, now make it happen.

hostess stuff sucks even those chocolate cupcakes taste like oily processed shit but for the life of me i never got the appeal of twinkies they are the nastiest of the processed cakes. now little debbie thats a quality cake those freakin apple dumplings , the zebra cakes and the lovely classic oatmeal creme cookie are the freakin shit.

I know this is kinda funny because it cupcakes but this shit is beyond brutal. If you are like me and you own a business constantly hearing how billion dollar business keep going under will with your mind.

Fix'd!

Oh man, Tallahassee is gonna be pissed.

Hostess said its going to be "business like normal" and that they will "still make Twinkies".

A lot of fat CAGs just smiled right now after reading this post.
