The US Gov’t prevented Vernor’s (and other companies) from putting Stevia in their product soon after Ronald Reagan was inaugurated.

Rumor had it that ADM (big corn company) confronted the FDA head and suggested he’d be out of a job unless he banned Stevia in favor of corn syrup.

Vernor’s was said to have a very unique flavor before the ban. It had nothing to do with what the customer’s wanted.

What indictment?!
Let our govt subsidize sugar from now on, and all Big Corporations will switch to using sugar in a heartbeat. There’s no indictments, no conspiracies in it. It’s called business (aka PROFIT).
Same goes with “recycling” (note I used quotes because our recucling programs have nothing to do with real recycling, aka reusing).

Costs of 1 day war in Iraq probably would cover entire nation’s recycle costs. Get your priorities straight, Americans, before talking cheap.

I like the old chap in the video, but he says lot of BS there. Still – props to him for bringing a lot of unknown sodas to his local market. Hopefully his business is succesfuil.

Unfortunately that is the current operative definition of marketing.

“It doesn’t mean you have a good product”

Luckily Galco’s doesn’t seem to be an adherent to your definition.

Since it seems, very evidently, that Galco’s customers feel Coke or Pepsi do not have a “good product” thereby Galco is in business.

One is “big business loves big government.” Not true. Big business likes corrupt and fascist government (by definition). Proper big government won’t ever restrain the little business but will promote it over big business. That’s a thing most non-historians of government, or people who take their talking points from FOX won’t ever understand.

I see more adverts for CEREAL and the price is threw the roof for 10-14oz. And looking at MALT-O-MEAL, the only reason for the higher price is PROFIT. And if you read the label, you will wonder where the GRAINS went.

HFCS is sucrose that has been partially separated into fructose and glucose (because it is sweeter than sucrose). This is the identical thing that happens when bees make honey and what happens when we digest sucrose. When we consume “real” sugar we are consuming fructose.

//Science spoils all the fun.

“successful at marketing a product that many people seem to like.”

To the un-initiated, successful marketing implys people (the market) experienced all others competitors products and choose Coke or Pepsi.

We know that is false.

As this stores shows, in it’s simple, people way, when the American freedom of choice is allowed to flourish, people (the market) will not chuse Coke or Pepsi.

It is an indictment of the corn syrup lobby, and the corn-growers lobby. These are the same people who have convinced Congress that ethanol (from corn) is a good idea – even though it costs more than gasoline and uses more energy than gasoline to produce.

Sprecher’s Root Beer (haven’t had their others so I can’t say) contains HFCS. Very flat flavor, too.

The body is interesting.
It KNOWS what it wants, and will FORCE you to find it. The problem is That it CANT GET you to EAT IT…so you eat everything you can…

Then comes the funny FATS..(not REAL/Natuaral fats) there IS’ on the market a frying material called Liquid plastic…FULLY digestible PLASTIC.
NOT REALLY, it just dont STICK to anything internally, and is SUPPOSED to exit the body and leave nothing behind..Interesting, AS the body WANTS something but got NOTHING..so we EAT MORE.
