Twinkies are not vegan. Twinkies are not vegetarian. Twinkies are made with beef fat. Beef fat, or tallow, is an almost-tasteless type of shortening commonly used in packaged foods as a preserver -- McDonald's used to cook its fries in a beef tallow mixture, before they switched over to vegetable oil in the 90s. But why Hostess' Twinkies?

  • Will DIA’s on-site brewery ever make beer again? The answer is up in the air.
    Denver Post, Wednesday - 04/24/2024 - 08:00 AM

    When Denver International Airport announced in 2015 that it was looking for a local company to build and operate a brewery inside the attached Westin hotel, it was big news.

He recently applied for the police academy, but he never really follows through with anything.
