Slog - Comments on Are CHEEZ-IT Crackers Good Food? http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/05/are_cheezit_crackers_good_food Several weeks ago, I bought a box of Cheez-It crackers on a whim. They sat on my desk for several days before co-workers began making these terrible sad puppy faces at me while pawing at the bright red box on the edge of my desk. In a matter of hours, all of the Cheez-Its had been eaten. On a soul-stripping trip to Costco over the weekend, I purchased a 3 pound box of Cheez-Its to compete with Megan Seling's bucket o' candy.

That surprised me.

Oh for shame. I ate some for lunch today while alternately glaring at myself in the mirror and napping between bites.

Thankfully, I was able to suppress that audible testament to my sex and maintain some dignity.

Cheez-Its are not healthy, and are not "good food" in that they're high in sodium and fat while low in other nutritional value. It shouldn't take a nurse to figure that out. But, they are delicious, and less guilt-inducing than potato chips. I managed to keep a box at work for about a week, which seemed like a reasonable per-day serving dispersal. I kept them in a drawer, though, so I wouldn't be forced to share.

Who writes a four-page essay on Cheez-Its, anyway? Who was the intended audience for his article?

Love and Affection
heathers likes my mail
i mail heather and she gets mad
WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU???
that's what she says
and i deleted her message and
send her some more random things
once i told her i am a psychic
i sense that she will soon become
a futon salesperson and she said
WHAT DO YOU MEAN A FUTON SALESPERSON?
WHO ARE YOU?
she seems quite hostile
I should mail her
the ingredient list for CHEEZ-IT
FLOUR, NIACIN, REDUCED IRON,
THIAMIN MONITRATE [VITAMIN b1],
RIBOFLAVIN [VITAMIN b2]

They remind me of going to visit my grandparents as a kid; they were my grandfather's favorite snack, and their house usually had at least two or three boxes stockpiled.

The Cheez-its were devoured almost instantaneously after I moved them to a table further away from my desk.

Someday I will return to Costco and MAYBE editorial will be willing to share:-)
