What are your thoughts on fat acceptance?

"Corn is found in 3 out of 4 supermarket products; there are more than 3,500 different uses for corn products. U.S. corn crop acreage, put together, would cover all of Germany
Consumption of corn sweetener in the U.S. increased 387 percent between 1970 and 2005, to 77.4 lbs from 15.9 lbs.
Corn subsidies in the United States totaled $81.7 billion from 1995-2011. Corn draws in more subsidies than wheat, soybeans and rice combined
Americans consume one-third of all corn produced in the world"
The body cannot metabolize High fructose corn syrup like cain sugar so results are hunger and weight gain. The lies the corn profiteers spread are not unlike the tobacco industries'. It also has many chemicals and toxins.

You can thank US sugar lobbies for keeping sugar prices high enough for corn syrup to be more economical (through protectionist policies). Sugar in America costs about triple what it does on the world market.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
