Post clear answers to each of the following questions on the BLOG.

What book has Steve Ettlinger written? What does "deconstructed" mean? Why did he go down a mine shaft? What mineral was he looking for? How many ingredients are there in Twinkies? What is corn dextrin used for in Twinkies? What else is it used for? What is Ferrous sulfate used for in Twinkies? What else is it used for? What is the Twinkie-Industrial Complex?
