    WEAKENED regulations??? How much weaker could they get??? Our diet is already 103% high fructose corn syrup. The other 47% is grease!

    SOME people tell me that those numbers don’t add up, but I checked. They do add up. 103% + 47%. Those are the numbers! What? You think I’m wrong??? I’m using the same math skills they taught in 11th grade at public schools, here in the USA! Basic math! I know my stuff! Even Scott Steiner checked my math. He said it spells disaster for you at sacrifice!

      Hey, at least it’s HFCS and not lead… You only need to figure it out that lead is clearly a better sweetener and then, as a stabilizer, start using asbestos.

        uhhh it’s also lead. I had to switch to a new protein shake brand because the one I was drinking was found to have unsafe levels of lead in it, and it was difficult because several other major brands also had unsafe levels of lead.

        If it’s happening in one industry, I bet it’s happening in others.

          Chocolate too. I love dark chocolate, but most of them were full of heavy metals. Though that is likely world wide based on the brands that had problems. Trader Joes being in there was the biggest blow in our household.

      With those numbers, we can also explain why Americans are fat.
