Corn is the most abundant and popular food in the world, beating out rice. I'm not sure how this is surprising.
"We're seeing that corn is the number-one reason that fast food is so cheap and available," said Meredith Niles, a food policy analyst at the Center for Food Safety who was not involved in the study. "U.S. programs are subsidizing obesity in this country."
U.S. programs are making sure that people have food to eat. Boo!
- MaysonL 18y agoGoogle "high fructose corn syrup" diabetes It's not just obesity.
- thomasmallen 18y agoThe article doesn't mention HFCS. It talks about the horrors of selling corn-fed burgers and such.
- MaysonL 18y agoSo? Corn-fed burgers often come with the suchness of sodas, which are likely worse for you than the burgers. The fact that the article fails to mention HFCS is a problem with the article, not my post [IMHO].
- thomasmallen 18y agoI think that diabetes and HIV are big problems while we're at it.
