Re: Less Popcorn Sold?
The corn lobby and their actions against sugar importation are one reason that high fructose corn syrup has all but replaced sugar in many old favorites (Coca-Cola, Pepsi).
Their sugar-based counterparts continue to be produced and marketed elsewhere, however. |

Coca-Cola made with actual sugar is sooooo much better than that made high-fructose corn syrup (imho). But it is damn hard to find. |

Basically every market other than North America utilizes sucrose-based syrup, rather than HFCS. |

Mopre often than not I have a feeling the US Gov deliberately posion its population to make sure they will pay the completely out-of-touch price for healthcare.
HFCS IS BAD FOR YOU.
BAD, BAD, VERY BAD - yet it is FORCFULLY PUSHED DOWN ON EVERYBODY'S THROAT by the US Gov.

I'd agree...but then I'm waiting for Coca-Cola to take out the carcinogens in their canned sodas and syrups.
