      Woah there, slow down money bags. Around this economic level we pad our food with high fructose corn syrup, pink slime and sand for flavor.

        It is mind boggling the shit that you can pick up off the shelf, read the ingredient list of, and find HFCS.

            american bread is legally cake in other countries due to how much sugar is in it.

                It is why Subway will always be the cake bread place in my head, great case with simple reasoning.

                I also love how it was not due to food quality laws but tax that caught them, no VAT on simple food stuff but VAT applies to confections like candy and cake. So what is the legal difference between cake and bread? The sugar content, and the fact subway instead of changing their bread fought that in court is just peak subway cake bread to me.

                The gummy ones from walmart (I like the idea of candy for my health).

                Also what is up with the brand “one a day” making vitamins where you have to take 2 a day?

                  That’s so great you bring up one a day. My wife had bought some and said how many of these am I supposed to take. And we laughed because it was such a dumb thing to say. Then we read the bottle and we were like this is ridiculous.

                    It was why I was looking for a new company of vitamins, and then see high fructose corn syrup on the competitor…

                    Guess I will be going without those vitamins for a while.
