49. Because when I think of applesauce
I think of apples -- sauced (at home). Without the HFCS.

But if you are out to make an enemy, or prove yourself righter than everyone, be my guest.

When it comes to food, I eat what I believe to be best and let everyone else eat what they want.

But I do believe that all products should come with an extra energy tax and an extra health impact tax.

Not so much as a tax, but just as a way of internalizing true costs. (Which in some respects the energy costs are already in there, but we should be taxing the bad (i.e., imported) energy to support the good (homegrown) energy -- as well as promoting conservation.)
