Sorry, Agnes, but even organic butter and sugar are not precisely benign. (We won’t go into what white shortening contains, but it certainly isn’t organic.)
I guess I’m still waiting for the other foot to fall. How will Agnes’ success be like a muffin? I am not a fan of “organic” stuff. That’s for people with much more money than I have. But one does lose lots of weight trying to avoid eating it.
