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 Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
I would love to see your Walmart is the welfare queen the press has been searching for rant posted where it could be shared.
