| A "corn sugar" fan. |
Now, this would explain a
lot. They put high fructose corn syrup in
every damned thing. I don't know why they do, but they do. How do I know? Because I've been on a slightly modified version of the Atkins Diet most of the time (with wagon falls) over the last five or six years. When you start reading nutritional information, and start wondering,
why does this salad have 15,742 grams of carbs? You realize they've pumped everything full of "corn sugar." Yes, they really call it that now. Time was, food producers were scared of the word "sugar."
Super Sugar Crisp became
Golden Crisp (after a journey through
Super Honey Crisp and probably others, with a mascot formerly called
Sugar Bear!). But when you have an unnatural product like HFCS that you
desperately want to seem "natural," you call it sugar.
So, now that much of America looks like
People of Wal-Mart, and those people have decided to be arch-conservative tea baggers, you have to wonder where that all comes from. Corn sugar! It's making them stupid! It all makes so much sense now.
