Can you believe this?
« on: September 20, 2010, 04:25:12 pm »
I just saw a commercial that said "people are confused about high fructose corn syrup. Really its just sugar, your body dosent know the difference. Corn sugar"
it had cornsugar.com at th bottom of the screen.
wow, now they're going to start LYING about food, instead of make it better.

The food industry and advertisers have been lying about food for a long time, they aren't "going to start now" as you put it. This is part of the reason this country has an epidemic of obesity and it is growing by the minute!

I know they've been lying for years, they've patented GE crops, i just don't see how they can just come right out with something that is nothing less than blatent deception.

It makes me so mad that we have rely on these companies to produce safe and healthy food for consumption and because money is all they care about, they sell us packaged crap that kills us at an early age. It is now necessary that every person take supplements to account for the lack of nutrition in our food.

That is ridiculous. Even when you think you are eating healthy vegetables, they do not contain even half of what they used to nutrient wise, compared to what they did even just a few years ago. The soil is depleted and hormones and chemicals are used in practically everything to produce better looking, bigger crops and meats! I would rather have an ugly puny looking apple that's natural and good for me than some shiny waxy huge apple that has hardly any nutrients in it whatsoever!  :angry7:
