You want to fight obesity, try banning HFCS (high fructose corn syrup)

11. No, I won't defend High Fructose Corn Syrup

It really isn't good for you.
Heck, if you can limit sugar consumption it is best.

However, I wouldn't want to legislate against it either.
I wouldn't mind more education in regards to healthier eating habits and so forth.

Also, I wouldn't mind if they take off subsidies for it if there are any, but actually banning things, I think is a waste of time.

If people want to be fat, lazy and dumb, that is their prerogative, even if I agree that they are also a huge contributing factor to the rising cost of health care in this country.

I would suggest, that if you need to do something, I would rather concentrate on making healthier more nutritious food cheaper and more readily available.

In truth, what I would love to see, is healthy fast food. I mean, there are places around like Sweet Greens which is good, but I was thinking something that is able to create a complete meal in small serving sizes that would fit a 5 meal / 2K-2.5K calorie a day method. Sadly, I've tried to compute the cost of that, and I can't currently see a method of making it cheap enough to make it worth it.

So yeah! I don't want a ban on HFCS, I'd rather concentrate on making better foods cheaper and readily available.
