57. people arent stating the real problem which is...
too much of our food is being monkeyed around with. Fructose syrup is in everything because it is a cheap way to decrease natural ingredients that really arent quite so bad for you. Natural ingredients have a taste. If you remove that ingredient and make up for it with another ingredient you end up adding more fructose syrup. There's a lot of ingredients that are manufactured from corn that are highly caloric that major food industry players are using.

Large portion size is another culprit. It is another way to fatten profit margins by increasing the price disproportionately in relation to the extra size of the product.

We need an Upton Sinclair to expose this
