Corn Syrup is in everything processed. The goal of course is to get away from processed foods.

It's stunning to me to see how high a percentage of your average US supermarket is devoted to processed foods.

A complete sea-change needs to occur, with people learning to cook again, and learning to cook fresh foods.

A 16-year old nephew of mine from Germany spent a year outside of Knoxville Tennessee last year on an exchange program in order to learn English. He boarded with a couple of local school teachers. In one year this kid gained just shy of 40 pounds! The entire year they ate either fast food, or processed food (instant meals, frozen dinners etc etc). And these were school teachers.
