Would You Eat Organic Cookies If They Had More Calories?
I was craving some chocolate chip cookies the other day when I was at Whole Foods, so I took a chance and got these cookies that were of organic ingredients. When it comes to organic and non organic, I definitely would choose natural over unnatural ingredients. The weird thing is, these cookies reminded me of Famous Amos cookies because of the way they looked. I decided to compare the two to see which would be better to consume, ingredient, calorie, sugar and sodium wise.
Newman’s Own Champion Chip Cookies have organic ingredients such as the flour and sugar that makes up these addicting tasting cookies. These cookies are made with palm oil which do not compromise the taste, since most cookies use butter. I decided to compare the cookies to similar looking cookies - Famous Amos Chocolate Chip.
vs. 
How are they compared to Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Cookies, which have no organic ingredients?

From comparing the two, I’d still eat the Newman’s Organic Cookies, just because I’m consuming more natural ingredients. I don’t know about you, but they were super good and addicting! Sure there are other snacks better to consume than cookies, but I think they are okay to eat - in moderation of course! Which one would you rather eat?
