One reason the foods taste awful is that the fruits are picked before they’re ripe. A lot of imported fruits and fruit spreads, from Italy, Turkey, and quite a few other countries are sweet and tasty with little or no added CANE sugar. I won’t buy anything with corn syrup in it.
“Big Corn” has donated MILLIONS to Bob Dole, Chuckles Grassley, and Kit Bond all Republicrats.
You gotta start them inside during the spring or they just wash away in the april rains.
as a way to thwart declining sales...
HFCS is pure poison - not to mention one of the main causes of the great incline in obesity in this country in the past 3 decades.
Most other countries wont allow it.
Take Coca Cola, for example, You can't get it in the U.S. without HFCS - unless you're close enough to the borders of Mexico or Canada and can pick up Coca Cola bottles - AND ALSO ONLY IN GLASS BOTTLES - bottled for those countries.
Here, even with a gerzillion different kinds of Coca Cola, they don't even give us one choice with cane sugar.
Pepsi, at least, is testing the waters and offers Pepsi "Throwback" - made with "REAL" sugar, but that means it's probably beet sugar. You want CANE sugar. Beet sugar in GMO'd. Look for the companies that say CANE sugar. And they TASTE better too.
So - instead of at least offering us a CHOICE of HFCS or cane sugar - they are trying to call HFCS by another name.
PUt a chart of the rise of obesity and the increased use of HFCS together and they are identical.
Where's madam "Food Czar" on THIS issue. Instead of telling us, as individuals, what we can and can't eat, do what we can't do ourselves - go after the manufacturers who market poison in their foods.
It's not just in sodas and juices and candies and gums - it's in just about anything pre-made. And it wrecks havoc on your health, not just obesity.
Which crony industry, corn syrup or sugar, will the FDA side with?
My bet is corn syrup, since it inhibits health and, therefore, supports the drug and death industries that are the core back-scratchers of the FDA.
It’s amazing to look as a 1st grade class photo from the 1950’s compared to now. Obesity has take over.
So how is the suit classified? Alienation of confection?
Nobody gonna lay finger on the corn monopolies.
Snapple uses real sugar now too. Their peach tea is the bomb shizznit.
