High fructose corn syrup?! GO ORGANIC!!!

Have you seen those commercials about how high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) really isn't bad for you if consumed in moderation?! BULLSHIT!!! These commercials are complete shit and Jesse and I get furious when we see the false advertising!

HFCS isn't natural! Your body can't even break it down properly and it just leaves you feeling hungry. It causes health problems! Dr. Field said, "every cell in the body can metabolize glucose. However, all fructose must be metabolized in the liver. The livers of the rats on the high fructose diet looked like the livers of alcoholics, plugged with fat and cirrhotic."

Sadly, HFCS is found in more than half of the foods we consume. It's cheaper than sugar and it's produced right here in the "cornbelt".

So, why wouldn't you go organic? Sure, it's a little more expensive, but your body will thank you later. If I can find organic food here in this tiny "cornbelt" town, you can go organic in the larger city in which you live.
