I happen to like corn cob pipes (aka Missouri Meerschaum) and let us not forget corn for whiskey
(or was that part of the 'renewable fuel' thing?)

oh, and just because I'm feeling sweet...

It's not just corn though. Flour and potatoes are bad for you as well. Meat, fruit, and vegetables are all we need to maintain proper health.

Funny, how I get laughed at for talking about ingrediants and healthy eating, and then I come to this thread where people are making more extreme diet recommendations than I ever have

BTW, potatoes are not "bad" for you unless you're a sedentary person who never exercises, in which case they can lead to weight gain because they're fast-burning carbs. Sweet potatoes on the other hand, don't burn nearly as fast, and are actually quite good for you.

This is exactly the problem.... it's more costly to eat healthy, yet it would save money in the long run (less sick time used away from work, less dr visits, less health problems). Yes... those are broad generalizations, but aren't those the same generalizations that are being made in the push to get away from the overprocessed foods?

All the money they're planning on spending to get uninsured people insured......How about spending some of that money encouraging those people to eat better? Things like brown rice and black-eyed peas are affordable even to poor people, and they're a lot healthier than most of the crap those people eat. Or how about spending some money improving the shitty food they serve at school cafeterias?

You fatten livestock with corn.

I have been saying this about HFCS for YEARS, despite industry claims that it has the same ratio of Sucrose to Fructose as Table Sugar, the sudden spike in US obesity having coincided with the widespread soft drink industry shift to HFCS was already a pretty damning bit of evidence for anyone paying fucking attention, but it sure is nice to see the fuckers in lab coats confirm my suspicions.
