Government Gluttony: Is There A Sugar Tax Coming? (by CommonSenseCap)

Government wanting to enforce their perverse morality on everyone else. Imagine if it was a church pushing this. People would be up in arms. When the goverment related groups do it. It gets a pass.

I keep thinking of the line in the film, Demolition Man,”Salt is bad for you. There for illegal.” This is what is happening with out liberty when it comes to food. The Nanny state, hates people who want to have fun. They are the modern Calvinists.

What is the next food they will target? If I was betting it would be meat. Force everyone on to a soy based diet. This crap has to stop now!

Corn industry as it tries to rebrand high fructose corn syrup as simply "corn sugar"

medicalprorenata:

The setting sun splashes warm hues across a ripening cornfield as a man and his daughter wander through rows of towering plants.

Like any parent, the dad says in the television commercial, he was concerned about high fructose corn syrup. But medical and nutrition experts reassured him that in essence, it’s the same as cane sugar.

“Your body can’t tell the difference,” he says. “Sugar is sugar.”

That key claim, made last year by the corn industry as it tries to rebrand high fructose corn syrup as simply “corn sugar,” was weighed for the first time by a federal judge Tuesday after a group of sugar farmers and refiners sued corn processors and a lobbying group.
