It was so nice of the corn industry to start a media campaign to enlighten the country about the lies being propagated about corn syrup.  As it turns out, high fructose corn syrup is no worse for us than regular old sugar, and we were just suckers for thinking otherwise!

You can really believe this website, too.  Unlike all those anti-corn naysayers, these people actually know what they’re talking about.  After all, they grow and sell the stuff!  Also, they have statistics from the US Government to back them up.  If that doesn’t say “trustworthy,” nothing does!

That leads me to a thought, though.  Since we live in a country that supposedly believes in the free market…why don’t we stop subsidizing corn farmers?  Since their product is apparently so fucking great, and since their new website claims that “U.S. food manufacturers’ continued use of high fructose corn syrup is based on the benefits it provides rather than its price relative to sugar,” I suppose there’s no reason for the government to continue artificially keeping the price low?  I’m certain that everyone would see the glorious benefits of high fructose corn syrup and continue choosing it over sugar, even if the price went up.  Right?
