@Forbin, I feel it's highly likely that the issues with HFCS you point to are due to the fact that about 90% of corn crops are GMO now, which means high levels of herbicides and pesticides. It is also a highly mold-prone crop. Concentrating the sugars out into syrup may mean getting unusually...

I'd be depressed too if I lived my entire life in an enclosed space and people in white coats continually prodded me and left me ever more ill. Oh wait.

Who with more than one braincell volunteers to write a letter to MSN/Observer/the author?

Geepers. It's like Inspirobot wrote it.

Wow, Andy, way to go! It's interesting to note how BPS school seems to be doubling down on just outright lying. To their credit, they have been getting away with it, so it's been a strategy that has historically served them. How do we take this to a level where it can no longer be...

Oh and double spoonfuls for each time she refers to herself as a "grownup".

Anyone watching this without the background info would think she's the new Mother Teresa. The woman deserves an oscar for that performance.

@Nasim Marie Jafry, such an incredibly poignant and articulate review. Thank you for this, it speaks for so many of us; I am sending it to my family member with the reminder to watch the film.

"it's hard to know what the truth is" yeah, thanks esther, thanks for that.

Holy crap, @Tired Sam, you so nailed it:emoji_trophy:

I noticed that little tidbit, too, @Woolie. The irony! The power of propaganda--it ain't for sissies!
