This meme brought to you by people who think high fructose corn syrup is an ingredient
Contrary to popular belief, in terms of health, high-fructose corn syrup is not really worse for you than sugar. It's very unhealthy, of course, but that's because it's sweet, not because of its chemical properties.
That being said, in many things (such as soda), people prefer the taste of sugar over high fructose corn syrup.
What’s bad about corn syrup is how fucking cheap it is (subsidized to hell or not). So they put it in way more things, keep us all addicted to sweet stuff and rake in profits at the same time.
Also see soy in everything (my wife is allergic so I’m biased, but it’s really nuts how many things (again, bread?) it’s in).
