Good News / Bad News

Good news ~ No more High Fructose Corn Syrup in your food. :D

Bad news ~ They are just changing the name to Corn Sugar. :(

The Corn Refiners Association, which represents firms that make the syrup, has been trying to improve the image of the much maligned sweetener with ad campaigns promoting it as a natural ingredient made from corn. Now, the group has petitioned the United States Food and Drug Administration to start calling the ingredient “corn sugar,” arguing that a name change is the only way to clear up consumer confusion about the product.

Not to be confused with "corn syrup"

As many people have pointed out.....

Grass? Natural.

Dog droppings? Natural.

Boll weevil maggots? Natural.

Just because a food is made with "all natural ingredients" is not enough to get me to bite.

Peter North's "All Natural" Bukkake Sauce.

oh there's a great clip somewhere of a camera guy getting hit in the face by an errant spurt, then freaking out, yelling "CUT!" and something unintelligible, probably demanding a tissue. Damn. I don't remember where I saw that one.
