I figured that I wouldn’t make any friends going after HFCS...but I do what I feel is right, and I actually do believe there is a place for governments to protect us. For example, I know that Houston’s smog would rival Peking’s if the EPA hadn’t cleaned up cars.

...of course there are limits and forcing California to close shop because some 2” fish wants fresh water (and thereby forcing most of California’s fresh water to drain directly to the ocean) is INSANE. But I still believe in some regulation, because BIG BUSINESS is simply incapable of regulating itself, as PROVEN by the mortgage crisis not long ago, when they JUMPING OVER EACH OTHER to loan $500,000 to people making $50k per year and never having a prayer of paying it back.

Anyway, hopefully the market will at least put an end to HFCS, even if the government won’t.

I'm trying to figure out why HFCS is bad, but the fructose in your real sugar is good.

Maybe you can explain?

Public concerns/outrage over smog would never cause a technology leap to make cleaner cars and smokestacks? We are, after all, NOT China

You mean the Government/Dodd-Frank legislation that mandated those loans to take place?
