Americans Have Become Too Fat for Disneyland Rides

[*JG* 2]

"The process by which HFCS is produced was first developed by Richard O. Marshall and Earl R. Kooi in 1957[1] and refined by Japanese researchers in the 1970s. HFCS was rapidly introduced in many processed foods and soft drinks in the US over the period of about 1975–1985."

"The prevalence of overweight and obesity in the United States makes obesity a leading public health problem. The United States has the highest rates of obesity in the developed world. From 1980 to 2002, obesity has doubled in adults and overweight prevalence has tripled in children and adolescents.[68] From 2003-2004, "children and adolescents aged 2 to 19 years, 17.1% were overweight...and 32.2% of adults aged 20 years or older were obese."[68] The prevalence in the United States continues to rise.[69]."

(wikipedia)

The "experts" blame fast food, lack of exercise, and other environment issues. No one seems to look at HFCS. It's an "empty" ingredient that only makes a person more hungry and causes more fat to be stored. Many other cultures are as sedentary as the US (UK, for example), but they don't have nearly as much obesity as we do. Why? They don't have HFCS in everything.

It's so sad that overweight people can only be found in the U.S.

That, and it's in friggin' everything and tastes like #######. Compare a Coke made with sugar to one made with HFCS. It's a zillion times better with sugar. (You may have to check out an immigrant neighborhood to get your hands on it.) Right next to my apartment building is a convenience store owned by Dominicans who import Coke from Mexico (sugar) largely for this one older Hispanic customer they have... and now C., because Coke made with sugar in a glass bottle is really pretty awesome.

I think that coke tastes better with real sugar in my own, un-scientific research. Side by side, I'm not sure that I could tell the difference.

The import quotas and tariffs on sugar are the reason for HFCS. Getting rid of them would save US consumers billions of dollars a year in grocery bills. Artificially high sugar prices in the US also increase the price of HFCS ironically. Companies like ADM benefit greatly from this.

With Ethanol use on the rise, as well as corn stoves being used more (The local High School is now using corn to heat it's buildings), corn will eventually become too expensive for HFCS to be the "cheap" alternative for manufacturers.

For now, Mags and I buy HFCS-free stuff whenever possible. There are a couple of brands of bread that don't have it (why IS US bread so sweet, anyway?). Mags and I both drink Diet soda, so we're ok there. HFCS is in freaking SAUSAGE for f***'s sake! Gah!
