King Corn

high fructose corn syrup....its in everything...we will continue to get fat of it and its not going anywhere and plenty more to come

This "film" looks like corn-fed bull's sh!t if you ask me.
A couple of michael moore wanna-be's going out and showing how big farming today is. So what; it's big.  Big tractors, big planters, big harvesters... so what? The indians ate corn long before we got here... did big business get to them too? Screw off sh!t disturbers. Hopefully viewers have enough brains to see through this hype.

Ending subsidies would go a long way in promoting a healthier society and environment.

Well... what happens is this... yea its our fault mainly if we get fat... but because we are already fat off corn, were too lazy to eat healthy now!!! So lets sue the Corn dudes, cuz they tricked us!!

BamaPepa: How can you say "...foreign markets by flooding them with their cheap corn?" and then say "...then won't sell them food at a price they can afford."?

Do you know how stupid that sounds?

Just because we live in a place and time where people don't have to worry about daily starvation, we get hoards of brainless followers that want to Blame (and probably Sue) someone else for their every minor problem.

If your fat ass drinks 10 bottles of Coke a day, that's YOUR fault, tubby. Not Coca-Cola's fault, not HFCS's fault, not the farmer's fault, YOUR fault. The Coke could be made with cane sugar or honey or maple syrup for sweetener and you'd still get fat.

bamapepa: I read the Omnivore book. I also watched the king corn movie. My bullshit detector works. Why do you say they "know their stuff" so well? because they make you feel like you're justifieid in being angry?

You're right - the sedentary lifestyle isn't all of the reason for obesity etc. It's only half the reason. the other reason is overeating.

Just because your fat ass drinks 8 Cokes a day, doesn't mean it's the corn farmer's fault .
