i was looking at bread in the supermarket, and just about every friggin loaf of bread was made with high fructose corn syrup, which is something out bodies don't process well and is believed to be a major reason why americans are fat (obesity rose about the time high fructose corn syrup was put in processed foods cause it's a cheap sweetener).

interesting links are here:

i know fast food is neither fast, nor is it really food, it's pretty much poison, but i thought about subway, how they have 6grams or less of fat sandwiches. yet lots of people who eat at subway are not losing any weight.

part of the reason is they order a sandwich and load it up with cheese, mayo, and get a cookie or chips and a soda and the meal comes out to 1,000 or so calories, half a day's needed caloric intake in one shot...

but i got to wondering and looked online and, sure enough, subway bread has high fructose corn syrup in it...

which makes sense, most heavily processed foods have it, which is why most processed foods make you fat....

so even eating "healthy" is not that healthy....
