Ah, I see. I'm glad I continue to prefer real cream cheese.

bleh.

Having had fake sour cream recently, I think I'll return to using not(-as-)-pre-packaged processed food product alternatives or just skipping the ingredients entirely.

I've tried to tell you that Tofutti is not necessarily (or even usually) food.

Luckily, Tofutti cuties seem to be okay.

Tofutti cuties are food?

Wafer Ingredients: unbleached wheat flour, sugar, caramel color, soybean oil, yellow corn flour, cocoa, modified corn starch, salt, baking soda, vegetable mono and diglycerides, soy lecithin.

I am clearly not up on my soy products; I assumed tofutti cuties were something like vegans who look good.
