A good lecture on high fructose corn syrup is on YouTube, titled "Sugar: The Bitter Truth". It explains how HFCS is SO addictive.
ALSO, one NEEDS to be vigilant at READING food (ingredient) labels!
It is being increasingly put in so many processed foods, many that most people would never expect to have sugar, such as certain brands of mayonnaise, ketchup, salad dressings, soy sauce, and even BREAD!
HFCS does NOT promote satiety (satisfies hunger), and is more likely to even induce hunger shortly after a person consumes it!
This is good for the "food industry" profits, but bad for you, your energy level(s) AND overall long-term health. One shouldn't be surprised to learn that food producers DON'T want a single-payer, government run, tax-payer funded national health-care system.
Because if such a system was put into effect, you can bet the government would have to impose regulations to minimize the negative effects to the country's overall health, and subsequent costs to its health care, due to such "transgressions" committed by those "for-profit" industries.
So, watch the lecture, and start READING ingredient labels, before buying your food!
And, BE WELL!

You know, If there were public service announcements about food and health on the teevee and radio like in the 70's about polluting("Give a Hoot, Don't Pollute", The crying indian) we wouldn't have to make laws about it. Those ads WORKED! Why do I still remember them? What has become of health classes in school? If people knew that it's the processed foods that are making them fat and unhealthy they would be more likely to change their habits. No one wants to be unhealthy, it's just that this society makes it easy to be unhealthy.

From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
I would love to see your Walmart is the welfare queen the press has been searching for rant posted where it could be shared.
