They have magazine ads and I remember it was on Time magazine too. It's so misleading, it really pissed me off. Which made me want to boycott HFCS entirely, so I guess it wasn't a very successful ad campaign, then...<br /><br />http://www.seriouseats.com/2008/09/pro-new-hfcs-commercials-high-fructose-corn-syrup.html<br /><br />http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1841910,00.htmlThe Gori Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18241271893829616871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5302480784488907086.post-70229725689563591892008-10-04T11:44:00.000-07:002008-10-04T11:44:00.000-07:00Yes...I saw it, and a bunch others like it.

It's not good to admit laziness about social issues, yet there I go. Maybe it's because Sarah Palin sucks the lifeblood out of me. So I think it would be a good argument to say that high fructose corn syrup is Sarah Palin's fault.Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17986725933208328225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5302480784488907086.post-37957593952275894822008-09-28T06:40:00.000-07:002008-09-28T06:40:00.000-07:00I've seen variations of this same ad brought to us...I've seen variations of this same ad brought to us by the corn industry. I think its a good thing because to me it means that the message about high fructose corn syrup has reached a large enough mass that the corn industry has to bring out the big guns in advertising.

After hearing Michael Pollan speak in June, I decided just to see if I can eat HFCS-free foods...it's hard, but it's awesome to be on the lookout at all times for this nutritionally pointless food. It's helping me gravitate toward natural sweets like honey, which are so much tastier - especially raw honey!! anyway, i could go on and on, but these ads are terrible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5302480784488907086.post-88829323660873125232008-09-11T15:26:00.000-07:002008-09-11T15:26:00.000-07:00I caught the other corn syrup commercial that feat...I caught the other corn syrup commercial that featured a couple eating popsicles.
