Sugar and corn syrup seem like glaring omissions, given that a lot of recent data suggests that sugar is much more of a leading cause of obesity than we once thought.

I was trying to find a graph of bread consumption over time, because the decline correlates quite well with the introduction of mass produced factory bread - devoid of flavour imho. http://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/crops/wheat/wheats-role-in-the-us-diet.aspx http://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/crops/wheat/wheats-role-in-th...
