Rediscovering Cracker Jack

Eating is a lot more interesting when you have to pay attention to the ingredients of every single thing you eat.  I can't buy bags of meatballs at the grocery store because they have breadcrumbs in them.  I can't let my son eat a hamburger at school, because those burgers usually have textured vegetable protein in them, and that may or may not contain wheat.  And you might as well skip the snack food aisle.  Most BBQ potato chips have milk, and don't even think about the Sour Cream & Onion.  Even the chili cheese fritos have wheat.

So it was with great joy that I read the ingredients of a Cracker Jack box today.  In slight translation, the ingredients are:
sugar
corn
more corn
peanuts
more sugar
and more corn
