High Fructose Corn Syrup Causes More Weight Gain Than Sugar

Great! SO we're all super-smart eaters! Yay!

What about the other 99% of Americans? Should we just say "fuck 'em"?

Please remind me what the FDA is for, then.

So basically your argument is that you are incapable of making a CHOICE on your own? You need the FDA or someone else to assume that RESPONSIBILITY for you?

Yeah, that's what I said.

See?

That's apparently the difference between you and I.

If I CHOOSE to go sit in the corner, I could manage it perfectly well on my own.

I guess you'd be standing around foaming at the mouth waiting for some Federal Agency to come and tell you it was safe first.

I believe in the need for the FDA, and if a substance was harming people, the FDA should step in. But HFCS is still OK in moderation. It doesn't harm anyone UNLESS:

1) they eat some of it every meal, and
2) they don't exercise

If those 2 conditions apply to someone, they don't deserve help, IMO.

You should read more carefully.

Your comprehension is rather low.

*Edit: Low brain performance can be a sign of lack of glucose in the brain. Maybe you should have something with a little table sugar in it.

His comprehension is fine. Your pretty much saying, 'Im like a child, and need daddy to spoonfeed me with a soft plastic spoon'

More failure to read.

This is definately typical Avatard. 'I've lost all footing for my arguement, so i'll make dumb comments and pronounce my superiority'.

I'll say it simply. The problem isnt HFCS, the problem is that most North Americans are idiots.

OK....let me ask you a simple and direct question then...take all "crap" out of the equation. I assume you'll be able to comprehend the question and reply without the vitriol?

Does the ultimate responsibility for what you CHOOSE to put into your mouth lie with you? Or does it lie with an Agency of the Government or anyone else?

I watch what I eat. I read labels. If the FDA can take Sodium Cyclamate off the market, they can do the same with HFCS. Otherwise, why have an FDA, if not to protect the public at large?

What you reading comprehension impaired granola eaters are missing, is that I ALREADY GET IT. I DON'T NEED ANYONE TO PROTECT ME. I READ LABELS.

BUT, if you are going to have an agency to protect the health of Americans, THEN IT SHOULD FUCKING DO THAT.

THIS SHIT IS BAD FOR YOU, AND SHOULD NOT BE IN THE HUMAN FOOD SUPPLY.

What is so hard to understand about that?

Thats the thing man, its bad. We know that. It large amounts its deadly. We dont disagree.

So dont eat it in large amounts. If you choose wisely, fine and good. But for the people who dont, fuck em. Its not like we havent known soda is bad for over 20 years now. Its still the best selling drink in the world, so fuck them. Thwy know better and dont care, fuck them.

You bitch for the legalization of marijauna, saying you dont need uncle to look out for you. Then you want HFCS banned, because uncle needs to look out for you more.
