If you have a better idea of what to do with all that corn besides turn it into the world's least healthy syrup then put it in every type of food imaginable I'd love to hear it.
someone who is good at agriculture please help, my citizenry is dying
grow less corn
no
corn juice 4 turbocharged carz vroom or just don't grow corn next year
Make maize meal, porridge, polenta and grits out of the corn instead?
Grow sorghum instead?
I love a good polenta. Still perfecting making it but it's getting there.
They use HFCS and regular corn syrup both so they will be further down the ingredients list and make it appear as if there is less total corn syrup :amerikkka-clap:
Holy shit are you telling me the "strawberries" in the US quaker oats are dyed apple chunks??
Meal prepping and cooking most of your own food helps a lot. The most processed things I eat are probably veggie meat substitutes because making my own is generally a long messy chore that only turns out decent half the time.
My British gf :shy: and I were just discussing this last night when she thought I was being silly about 2 cans of non diet soda being too much daily.
So it turns out the same soda brand (Dr Pepper) has wildly different calorie counts and sugar content for about the same size (~12oz) can. 66 cal / 16g sugar in the UK vs 150 cal / 40g sugar in the US. And then I brought up that it's not abnormal for some commuters to bring in a 32oz+ refillable big gulp cup into their local gas station every morning to refill it for $1-$2. Actual fucking poison over here, ain't it!
EDIT: Holy shit lmao, check out more comparisons over here.
Honestly at this point I just drink water. Maybe some Milo every now and then.
So much less headaches
For some of us they do, and as health care becomes more and more expensive I'm sure even more of us will put of dentist appointments as the years go by.

some of us do it for free :sicko-flipped:
2 cans of non diet soda
diet soda's bad too from what I understand. The aspartame breaks down into formaldehyde in the body. The FDA concludes that aspartame has no carcinogenic properties, and yet curiously, will admit that aspartame metabolizes into formaldehyde, a known carcinogen, before leaving the digestive tract. This seems to be a semantic run-around. The FDA won't conclude something is carcinogenic for what it metabolizes into. So the FDA concludes that aspartame has no association with cancer, and there are many citations for this, and yet, curiously, the FDA also concludes that formaldehyde is carcinogenic, and that aspartame breaks down into formaldehyde before it leaves the digestive tract. This seems to be a semantic run-around. The FDA won't conclude something is carcinogenic for what it metabolizes into, only for what it is. Common sense would dictate that this should not be enough to determine food safety. The FDA's approval process for aspartame was furthermore problematic, and fraught with conflicts of interest. Donald Rumsfeld, who was a former member of the U.S. Congress and the Chief of Staff in the Gerald Ford Administration, was hired as G.D. Searle’s President. Attorney James Turner, Esq. alleged that G.D. Searle hired Rumsfeld to handle the aspartame approval difficulties as a “legal problem rather than a scientific problem.” (US Senate 1987). For this approval process, Rumsfeld hired the following people: - John Robson as Executive Vice President. He was a former lawyer with Sidley and Austin, Searle’s Law Firm and also served as chairman of the Civil Aeronautics Board, which was then connect to the Department of Transportation. - Robert Shapiro as General Counsel. He is now head of Searle’s NutraSweet Division. He had been Robson’s Special Assistant at the Department of Transportation. - William Greener, Jr., as Chief Spokesman. He was a former spokesman in the [Gerald] Ford White House. Donald Rumsfeld was on the Board of Directors of the Chicago Tribune which recently wrote a glowing article about the NutraSweet Company. On January 10, 1977, FDA Chief Counsel Richard Merrill recommended to U.S. Attorney Sam Skinner in a 33-page letter detailing violations of the law that a grand jury be set up to investigate G.D. Searle. In the letter, Merrill stated: “We request that your office convene a Grand Jury investigation into apparent violations of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S..C. 331(e), and the False Reports to the Government Act, 18 U.S.C. 1001, by G.D. Searle and Company and three of its responsible officers for their willful and knowing failure to make reports to the Food and Drug Administration required by the Act, 21 U.S.C. 355(i), and for concealing material facts and making false statements in reports of animal studies conducted to establish the safety of the drug Aldactone and the food additive Aspartame.” Aspartame has been controversial since day one. Searle, the manufacturer, had failed to win FDA approval for 16 years and was under investigation for performing fraudulent studies. Aspartame was suddenly approved in 1981 when Donald Rumsfeld, former CEO of Searle and new member of President Ronald Reagan's transition team, appointed a new FDA commissioner. The controversy never died down. Today for example, the State of New Mexico is attempting to ban aspartame. It is banned in Japan and officially discouraged in China. But in the USA, the FDA and lobbying groups like the Calorie Council continue to proclaim its safety. A 1996 review of past research conducted on aspartame found that every industry-funded study had said the sweetener was safe to consume. However 92 percent of independent studies claim one or more problems exist with its use, the British newspaper the Guardian reported. FullerFalafelLover (talk) 13:57, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
as an english, i've tried both ketchups and the yankee version was so sweet it felt like my teeth were dissolving
:british-maw: weak britbong choppers cannot handle the power of all-american carboloading
:dean-smile: american pearly whites deflect sugar with the power of fluoridated water.
There are some areas that have fluoride in the water supply either from intentional addition to the water, or through groundwater contamination or natural mineral deposits. I believe only about 10% of the population has fluoride in their water, though.
Imagine having a government so dysfunctional that :amerikkka: can sometimes show you up.
It's like how the UK has universal healthcare because it got passed a while ago, but there is no way in hell they would be able to create the NHS with how dysfunctional they are now.
Jesus Christ :ukkk: get your fucking act together, :amerikkka: has 73%. It’s like the cheapest most basic thing you can do to dramatically decrease the rate of cavities
This is happening nationwide soon. Also worth noting that dental health is still better in the UK despite not having it, rate of tooth decay is lower. This is probably because of diet and will be improved by the addition of fluoride by a lot.
Not sure why they've lagged at it so much to be honest. It's literally cheaper to add the fluoride to the water than it is to provide nhs dental to people that otherwise wouldn't have needed it.
Found some store brand reduced sugar ketchup which was actually kinda decent.
oi mate don't worry we're finally cutting that bloody bureaucratic EU red tape, we'll have the lovely American slop soon enough
While we're talking about corn syrup, the normal stuff you can get in the grocery store (Karo, etc.) does have a justified use when making candy as it's an inverted sugar.
The high fructose stuff? We use it because it's cheaper than real sugar and we have way too much corn.

Artificial Colour Red 40, Blue 1(!!), Yellow 6
Fucking hell. So pretty much everything from the tap water to foodstuff is jammed with liquid cancer.
Can artificial colouring cause cancer or am I just being dense and misunderstanding the comment?
Red 40 is made from coal tar so I would lean towards yes.
Red 40 is illegal in the EU to the point that bakeries wind up getting raided if they illegally import American sprinkles because the red ones are carcinogenic.
literally do everything i can to avoid sugar and corn syrup. my life is greatly improved
I’m too weak willed. i grew up on that shit and i am forever addicted
is there a product guide for this? seems like you'd just be reading every label and turning down 99/100 products.
You really only have to do that once then you know what products are good to buy
Same. Make all my own food except for stuff like peanut butter and soy. Even then I buy the sugar free version
Yea probably but have you ever actually seen a list of ingredients on a bottle?
shhh we can't let the yanks know it's all liqueurs
just slap a surgeon general warning on it and call it a night.
Fucking hate that they don't have to list their ingredients, im allergic to corn and propylene glycol and companies love not responding to emails that aren't complaints
When anglos still have better food than the US :joker-shopping:
wouldn't surprise me if they were. Privatization, deregulation, debt, and austerity are the main methods by which capital attempts to destroy and subvert the regulatory apparatus of a nation, and those all happen to be what the Tories love most
