If only we could have some mindful force to fight back against that trend.
How's about we all come together and do it for ourselves. Let's call it - government.
Again not trying to derail the thread but this example of government need I find curious. If people want to eat food with HFCS then they should be able to, and companies should be able to meet that demand. This doesn't even have to do with economic freedom; it falls squarely on the bottom edge of the compass. If you want to mitigate the externality of this, an obese people, you might as well tax everything on the planet that is associated with risky behavior as well.
Also, the reason why HFCS is in all our food instead of sugar is due to protectionist policies and corn subsidy. It is largely a govt enabled problem.
