Who knew?

Unfair Park has a great entry about corn subsidies, corn syrup and more.
We see that The Dallas Morning News tackled the ubiquitousness of corn today, showing how everything from sodas to bread to bacon is suffused with high fructose corn syrup. Arguable result: fatso nation. But this just scratches the surface of rampant corn perniciousness and the powerful political (Iowa Caucuses) forces at work ramming this stuff down our throats and into our gas tanks.
They also site Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma : A Natural History of Four Meals and his interview on NPR that I mentioned a few weeks back.
