"From-concentrate almost always has added sugar, which in American-speak means it has corn syrup." err.. no. I have never seen "from concentrate" with added sugar on 100% juice from concentrate. if you are drinking "punch" or "drink" or "swill" then you get maybe 10-20% juice but if its 100% it aint got no corn in it.

besides the bacteria that live in our gut and on our skin and in our systems…. CORN appears to be the most successful organism in the evolutionary race to supremacy. It has billions of humans slaving away to reproduce it all over the world at the expense of birds, mammals, fish, insects, other plants and just about everything else except soybeans and cows.

Open the doors to sugar imports, end sugar subsidies then tax food for their sugar content. …

Hmm damnit, gotta research this.

Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Colonel! Colonel, I must know what you think has been going on here! Colonel "Bat" Guano: You wanna know what I think? Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Yes! Colonel "Bat" Guano: I think you're some kind of deviated prevert. I think General Ripper found out about your preversion, and that you were organizing some kind of mutiny of preverts. Now MOVE!

I've long suspected that Ed was degenerating into a deviated prevert, and now I'm convinced.

Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Colonel... that Coca-Cola machine. I want you to shoot the lock off it. There may be some change in there. Colonel "Bat" Guano: That's private property. Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Colonel! Can you possibly imagine what is going to happen to you, your frame, outlook, way of life, and everything, when they learn that you have obstructed a telephone call to the President of the United States? Can you imagine? Shoot it off! Shoot! With a gun! That's what the bullets are for, you twit! Colonel "Bat" Guano: Okay. I'm gonna get your money for ya. But if you don't get the President of the United States on that phone, you know what's gonna happen to you? Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: What? Colonel "Bat" Guano: You're gonna have to answer to the Coca-Cola company.

Commies ended up unable to tell their populaces what to eat; starting from the mid-Eighties onward, there wasn't much left to eat anyway.

I went to school under the Commies, up to my early high-school years. Starting in 6th grade, we had special lessons on 'rational nutrition,' to inculcate in our young, tender minds — or brainwash, if you're a regular reader of the NRO — bland truths that the health-conscious in America struggle to dispense to the overweight, to little avail: eat more fish and less beef; balance your diet between carbs, protein, and fats; nuts are better than bacon; lower your sugar intake; milk is good for you; don't sit on your ass all day; get 8 hours of sleep a night, etc.

(The one exception was fiber — nobody told us to have enough of it back then. Maybe it's because the Eastern Bloc hadn't realized the importance of keeping one's pooper on a regular schedule. Or maybe the gub'mint just wanted us to crap less, thus easing the strain on the national toilet-paper industry and freeing resources to build socialism sooner.)

But – but – Ed – government handouts don't count when they're to the rich and powerful!

Years ago, I saw a short news special with footage of the CEO of Coca-Cola addressing an auditorium of shareholders and the like. He was wildly applauded for saying his goal was to make Coke more popular than water.

Also, this thread makes me think of Precious Bodily Fluids.
