I’m convinced, but cannot prove, that corn sweeteners cause obesity. We feed corn to livestock to fatten it for the slaughter. For generations, a zaftig mid-western gal was described as being ‘corn fed’...

A hundred percent agreement with you. Corn is the DEVIL.

Or as we say in the South, "Corn is the DIBBLE."

Well, maybe not ALL of us in the South say that.

Maybe I'm the only one.

.....yep. Just checked. I'm the only one who says that.

Everything here is fried. Fried okra, fried ‘taters’, fried chicken...everything! My husband loves sweet corn and makes me plant a garden full every summer. I spend days in the kitchen canning and freezing. By the next crop I still have 2/3 of it left since I don’t eat it. Out it goes to feed the deer before the new crop gets put up.

I was raised in S. Florida on seafood and all of that fried stuff wasn’t on my menu.

BTW, he has Type II diabetes and high sugar. Go figure.
