Organic Hot Dog Buns

I was very surprised to see someone buying a pack of organic hot dog buns today. (Who knew they even made organic hot dog buns?) This struck me as really silly and a giant waste of money.
First, I’ve read all the recommendations on what organic products to buy. Mostly, these include apples, berries, spinach, and a few others. Nowhere on any of these lists are “hot dog buns.”
Second, I can’t see how the occasional regular hot dog bun (one or maybe two a week?) would really be detrimental to your system. Could there be THAT many pesticides in eating an infrequent, non-organic bun? Methinks not.
Third, do you know how much they cost? Almost double the price of regular hot dog buns.
Can you imagine how funny it would be if someone put a non-organic hot dog in an organic bun? Now that’s comedy.

Well, I’d buy organic hot dog buns if I could find them. Almost every single hot dog bun I’ve found is pumped with high fructose corn syrup. Why does a hot dog bun need high fructose corn syrup? Outside of some potato buns (that had loads of other odd stuff in them that I can’t pronounce) I can’t find a single maker of buns that doesn’t contain HFCS. To me, common sense leads me to steering clear of products that are harmful to my long term health. Is a regular bun going to kill me? No, of course not. The problem is that it is getting more and more difficult to eat healthy because it seems most everything is filled with preservatives etc.
