Debunking Beer Can Chicken: A Waste Of Good Beer, And Dangerous
Back when I was in high school, I discovered that you could get maple sweetened candy canes in the health food section of Fred Meyer (a west coast chain of stores that sell groceries, clothes, homewares and just about everything else. I've lived on the east coast for six years and I still miss it). I bought them instead of the traditional ones because I liked the old-fashioned color the maple gave the candy. I also liked the idea of eating something that wasn't filled with lots of artificial colors. Now there's another way to get candy canes that make you feel incrementally better about eating them. According to our friends over at Green Daily, you can now get organic, vegan, fair trade, GMO-free candy canes. They are made by a company called Pure Fun. They use all natural, kosher, vegan, gluten-free and Fair Trade ingredients and they source their cane sugar from companies that "green cut" it by hand. You can find Pure Fun candy at Whole Foods or online.

Thank you and good day.

I really can't imagine these ingredients coming in a non-vegan form, and I really can't see how one can make a claim that the product is gluten-free also without some sort of disclaimer saying that candy canes are normally produced without gluten. That's like calling milk gluten free... or beef gluten free... or water gluten free. It just shouldn't be there in the first place.
Also, I don't see any endorsement or certification for fair-trade from TransFair USA ( http://transfairusa.org/ ) or similar entity, so it might be fair trade in spirit only.
I'm guessing that this is just gimmicky...

I don't think Fred would care either if he were still alive. I'm willing to cut some slack to those not lucky enough to have been born here. How about you?
