					<description>This is awesome sauce. I might have to agree with you on the tortilla winning thing, though I am a very serious fan of that overachieving bread. And hey--when did you start eating cheese? I'm so proud of you! Oh and, um, freakishly? We have a loaf of bread in the pantry that has been there, unrefrigerated, in the hot hot heat, for over six weeks and it is still not moldy. How much does that terrify you when you think about what must be in that shit?</description>

					<description>[...] I feel pretty strongly about tortillas as you should already know. The fresh tortillas from Lario&amp;#8217;s made it all come together. The flavor, the fluffiness, and the fact that they were .59 cents made them fantastic. Just look at how good they look shining in the sun. Behold their awesome force. [...]</description>

					<description>That was fantastic!  As a die hard tortilla man myself I'm glad to see my flat little friend come out on top.  The tortilla is the most versatile food since butter in my opinion, and yet it is so misunderstood.  I was once at a Hard Rock Cafe with a bunch of Midwesterners who all ordered Fajitas.  A girl from Minnesota wanted more tortillas and called over the waiter and asked him for some more &quot;taco shells&quot; I damn near cut that bitch!

I would say that since the whole &quot;low-carb&quot; craze has hit I do see the tortilla in more places that ever before.  However most of them don't taste like much, the lack of lard and kneading leaves their flexibility like my legs after a long plane ride, and worst of all, they are often called &quot;wraps&quot; or, worstest of all, &quot;wrap-coverings&quot; (I saw those in a gourmet store in New York once) Yet another scheme of the Man to put the brown man down.

Not to amend your deduction any further, but I would also suggest that the tortilla is better for the environment.  A tortilla never has to be baked to be  made.  Think of all that oven energy that is going to waste.  You could make a stack of tortillas as tall as a tree in the time it takes you to bake one loaf of bread.</description>
