Its no use man, its a conspiracy to make people unhealthy. Can't you tell? Willpower and common sense are not allowed to prevail while grocery shopping, and the food industry is to blame for greed.

Oh, and sugar is perfectly safe, and doesnt raise blood sugar levels, causing the body to store fat. You see, every fact we have on how the body burns and stores fuel is thrown out the window because of a study on HFCS, because Avatard says so.

Will Power? Common sense? Nutritional education? What are those things! Theres only greedy fucks looking for someone to blame for their fat asses!

Lets blame HFCS, and not the 24 cans of soda and 8 boxes of mini cakes they bought and drank this week! It would be unfair to blame them for buying it!

Gregman is totally right.

Drop the soda + eat whole foods = problem solved.

Not everyone is a fucking food nazi, right? Are you? I'm not.

No, I don't binge on shit, but I do eat what some would call "junk" in moderation. So do MOST adults I know. This study shows that perhaps even in moderation, HFCS can cause obesity.

I'll say it again, it would make great fuel, but please stop feeding it to humans, Cane sugar is MUCH healthier, and really not that much more expensive to the industry.

They need to place public health above profits. This sweetener is now known to cause obesity in levels even HALF that of table sugar. It needs to be off the market.

And another thing...it's not just in sodas. It's in FUCKING EVERYTHING.

Avoiding HFCS in even moderate amounts (now known to cause obesity) just isn't that easy. It's in everything. It's nearly unavoidable.

I've had three meals so far today.

I have had no HFCS.

None planned for the rest of the day either.

It's not REALLY that hard to avoid it.

What did you eat, and how are you so sure?

Homeslice 04-06-2010 01:06 PM

There seems to be an opinion, in this country at least, that reading the ingrediants makes you a nerd or snob or whatever. I call it basic common sense. I mean, the literacy rate in this country is like 99% right? So what's stopping you? If you can read enough to read the TV Guide, you can read the fucking ingrediants.

Oh, and..........Vegetables, dried beans, oatmeal, rice, eggs, meat of any kind..........No HFCS in those.

Or you eat stuff that doesn't come in a box.

So far...

Cereal with blueberries for breakfast.

Grapefruit.

Raw carrots, celery and green beans.

Pork sandwich for lunch (sprouted rye bread).

Orange.


I am sure because except for the cereal and Almond Milk (I checked the ingredients) none of it came from a box.

What are you, some kind of hippy? :wtfru:

Look at most breads in the bread isle, kiddies. Get back to me.

I like how people that CHOOSE to exclude harmful things from their diets or habits are branded as "Nazis"....

Clever bit of reasoning, that....

It's not that MY choices are poor....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...it's that people that make informed and healthy choices are Nazis.

Whatever....
