Lol high fructose corn syrup isn’t magically worse than other sugars. The reason it’s in everything is because it’s a cheap sweetener. Why is it so cheap? Because the US produces so much goddamn corn the only reason it’s actually profitable is because of government subsidies. We produce so much corn, that if it was meant for direct consumption we could feed the world multiple times over. We make so much corn, that even after we fed the world, it would still rot in storage so we put it in our fucking gasoline. There is so much corn in the US, it would be cheaper to burn cash than to grow corn. 

The largely only applies to the US though, overseas they don’t use it nearly as much because the margin between corn and whatever else is much smaller due to importing it.
