   My local movie theater had a series of documentaries on America – most other countries like us and fine us humorous, one, from New Zealand, showed Americans coming in and out of a Walmart – the narrator comment was: “Here we see Americans shopping, as you can see they are not a very attractive people.”

   I went over to a Walmart, and I’m afraid that he was correct.

   Pop wouldn’t be as bad for you if it actually contained sugar. Nearly all brands of pop switched over to cheaper high fructose corn syrup years ago. The corn syrup commercials are correct that it’s fine /in moderation/ but it’s in so much of commercially processed foods these days. It’s in pop, Kool-Aid, ice pops, cereal, mayonnaise, salad dressings, yogurt, bottled or frozen fruit juice, spaghetti sauce… It’s even in peanut butter!

   Personally, I very rarely buy pop. My weakness is the savory, not the sweet.

   Children who drink sodas are not only obese, but their teeth are ruined. What are we doing to our children?

   Watch carefully when you shop for groceries next time. It is astonishing to see the piles of snacks and soft drinks nestled in carts along with frozen meals and packaged “food.”

   At first, I thought av8tor was serious, but then I realized he (she?) was joking. Or, at least I hope av8tor was kidding about desiring more gov’t control. They’re already limiting our other rights (free speech–heck, PC has done away with much of that!).

   This is just a cheap excuse to raise taxes. People are quite aware that soda has sugar and is bad for you, there’s nothing new to be learned here.

   If the government is actually concerned (and they’re not), they can just raise awareness about sugar free alternatives like diet cola and sugar free juice. But of course there’s no money in that.

    • I know, right, Right Wing government is already trying to make it so I can’t go to school.

    “Sugar free” is worse than sugar- as people eat more to compensate for the “urge”- plus the corn syrup thing is more problems than just the calories- like the land used to grow corn for sugars rather than “food”.

    American’s over-processed food basically sucks- “Down on the farm” is actually “DOW on the farm”- and other chemical companies.

    We could start by removing the tax subsidies for corn, which makes it cheap and ubiquitous.

    We’re “taxing” your votes in November, Libs.
