      That would be our corporate overlords wanting to keep corn farmers employed. It’s not like we have bottles of it at our table. Companies just put it in everything since it’s cheap, and since we don’t have an effective government that stops capitalism from killing us, it gets put in everything and we die from heart disease.

      that’s the fun part, it’s been snuck into all of our foods that oftentimes we have little choice.
