  Dude, thank you. You literally have just made me look forward to the weekend with the in-laws. 3 years ago I could go over to their house and we’d cook some burgers on the grill but now... Oh no... They’ve gone 100% vegitarian and are forcing it on their children.

  Two weeks ago they were over at our house and I had a pack of fruit snacks. I went to give one to my 4 year old nephew and my sister-in-law LITERALLY smacked the fruit snack out of my hand before I put it in his mouth and goes “THAT HAS HIGH FRUCTOS CORN SYRUP IN IT... DON’T FEED HIM THAT!” I had to leave the house for a few minutes until I cooled down. I was going to give him ONE tiny fruit snack.

  You just gave me ammo dude.

  but they dig their own hole:
  "it's fine in moderation"
  check your fucking labels, it's in EVERYTHING, hence, avoid the shit when you can because you're getting it CONSTANTLY.

  'just as safe as sugar' that isn't saying much. it's all processed and not as health as getting sugar naturally. stick with fruits and sweet potatoes! impossible!... but healthy!

  I try to eat from my own garden and as natural as possible. To be honest, I feel less tired and have more energy most days. For sweetining things up though, nothing beats honey. Refined sugar is terrible and this corn shit is nasty.

  • Honey or unrefined cane sugar.– ETM

  High-fructose corn syrup and sugar are both very bad for you, because they consist of empty calories and have a very high glycemic index. You should eat fruit if you want something sweet. I eat some organic Green & Black's dark chocolate every once in a great while too.

  • If you must use sugar, you should make it unrefined.– dog_opus1/4

  we got some little cherry tomatoes from our 1st little experimental vegetable patch this year, and we just planted it, and left it to it's own devices. Each tomato is slightly different, slightly 'imperfect', but boy! the taste just bowled me over, honestly never tasted any tomato as sweet and juicy and rich in flavor, it was like tasting in color for the 1st time, magic.
  Grow your own shit, kids - it makes you feel a bit old when you're out there weeding it instead of playing music or laughing with girls in cars at 3am, blitzed out of your tiny mind on screamers and stoli, but fuck all that, seriously, they were just cheap sluts who happened to cost a lot of money, and would just pretend to pass out when it came time to be slutty, so forget them.
  and er, yeh - ahem, grow things and eat stuff. Or something.

  I'm thinking they might be able to piggyback smoking and alcohol consumption into the next commercial. Maybe a chick will order a rum and diet coke, but the bartender will school her on how high fructose corn syrup is 'natural' and shit. then she'll smile and take a drag of her cigarette. then she'll have unprotected sex with the bartender. and drive home under the influence while not wearing her seat belt.

  I'm pretty late on this but I was going to post the same thing and I found this before I did.

  I really like schooling health nut hippies about nutrition.

  If you live an active, healthy lifestyle you're body can more than handle some high fructose corn syrup, a few thousand calorie days every once in a while, the occasional pesticide covered apple, and even a few 100% beef McDonalds hamburgers.

  The best is when I get a scowl from a girl at a restaurant for ordering a buffalo chicken sandwhich or french fries while she's munching on a gigantic salad with cheese, bacon, and 6 ounces of ranch dressing.

  Reminds me of when I was younger and my friends dad got an organic apple from Whole Foods. I asked him what organic meant, he showed me a spider web built inside the top of it and stated "basically, that's what it means".

  I'm all about eating healthy and natural, but I can't stand people who do it just because it's trendy and then rub it in your face when you enjoy a popsicle.

  This is silly. Most food is fine in moderation, just don't eat craploads of sugary foods, same goes for fat and salt etc.
  It's just common sense. Know your RDAs and stick to them.
  People over complicate nutrition sometimes. The people who get obese are literally having 10s of times over their RDAs of some things. Also doesn't help that manufacturers package unhealthy food in massive packs – especially in america, the small print says something like 'this pack contains 10 portions' but they know people will eat it all in one go.
  I watched this great TED lecture yesterday about kids school meals in california, worth a watch:
