Quantum, I can't upload the photo of your cinnamon roll (Photobucket is down), but it still looks awfully tempting. But you mentioned herbicides & pesticides, and now...you've ruined my treat!!
Obviously, those large fast food chains and bakery chains do not use organic flour, and even don't use non-GMO ingredients. People often don't want to acknowledge this, but anytime you eat from any of these restaurants and bakery, be sur you eat genetically-modified food (GMO), non-organic food ( meaning they contain herbicides and pesticides), and a lot of non-healthy additive like those referred too in the link I have posted in my post above ( aspartame, trans fats, industrial emulsifiers, artificial flavors and colors, HFCS, etc...). The reason is clear: those ingredients are cheaper, so they can sell at lower prices ans still make a good profit. Don't worry, if a chain would use organic ingredient and non-GMO foods, they would market it clearly, because their prices would be a bit higher, but they would attract all the health conscious customer....
In the case of a heavily sugared cinnamon roll, there is an impossibility of ever seeing an organic, non-GMO version, because health-conscious customers have let go for a long time of high sugar content food, and often of high-gluten content food, and so on. That is why you will find smoothies bars instead, or health-oriented restaurant, offering organic food, but they offer healthy recipes, not cinnamon buns and french fries. Like fruits and veggies organic smoothies with organic hemp milk and organic cinnamon, and maybe some spirulina powder or macca powder added.....wow, now I am interested :-) And, As a Canadian, why not adding a touch of organic maple syrup..... ;-)
Talking of French fries, you can take a look here if you want to know what is in McDonald"S French Fries...again, you may be surprised:
