High-Fructose Corn Syrup Commercial?! FTW!

submitted by blankfist

1 decade 6 years 2 months 2 weeks ago

I saw this terrible commercial on tv last night promoting corn syrup as a good alternative to sugar. Those damn corn lobbyists! They've lobbied Washington to make sugar cane imports prohibitively expensive, leaving corn syrup the fiscally responsible choice for the US food service industry. You want real sugar in your Coke? Ha! Go to Mexico for that.

Corn growers are now producing ethanol, but the process is too expensive and wasteful. The Brazilians have the process down, however, but using sugar cane instead of corn. They can import that ethanol at a cheaper price, and we could all benefit from it, but the corn lobbyists got their big brother Washington to put a prohibitively expensive tariff on ethanol imports from Brazil.
