There can be only one: Crunchy or Puffy Cheetos?

It could taste different, but I doubt it. I was merely trying to point out that they aren't that different.

Organic absolutely positively does not under any circumstances have more nutrients. No way, no how. Not even a little bit. A lot of times in the organic fruit and vegetable markets, they harvest non-organic produce when it is more mature, which adds taste. I'm not sure about the nutrient production, if it is harvested early enough, it could possibly have less nutrients if it hasn't reached physiological maturity. But that is 100% a function of harvest function, so they can store them longer and sell them throughout the year. You pick standard production produce at the same time as organic, it would taste the same.

Moreover, do you know WHY they can't harvest organic early? Because the produce would be tiny. Organic production cannot keep pace with standard production, because there is no way to deliver enough nutrition to the plant organically, so the stressed plants produce smaller fruit. So it has to be fully matured out when they harvest it and get it to the store.

I know. My rant responded to is your question as to whether it is a price issue. I didn't say they were identical. I said, "There not really very different, except for organic cornmeal vs enriched cornmeal." I missed the MSG, but there are also a bunch of goofy ass chemicals that I don't know what they are or do, too.

Even if just the added MSG. That's why I examined the list and posted about it.

Don't get me wrong, lots of commercial foods do toss around the word "natural" when it really isn't what would be expected. I have had to read labels due to food allergies and hidden ingredients.

Believe what you want, but as long as they're still associating with that bullshit non-GMO/Organic crowd, I'll stay the **** away.

And FWIW, my anger/frustration isn't aimed solely at you. It's just a sore ass subject for me. It'd be like if everyone said, anybody in Marketing that doesn't meet face to face with the client is ****ing doing wrong. And then everybody believed it. You'd be frustrated too, and it is no less ridiculous.
