re: Correlation between US food ingredients, cancer, and healthcare expenditures

America is all about the cheapest for the most. We are gluttons who want to overeat for the lowest price. This is why we have "Mexican Coke" for instance. Really we just have American Coke here, because high fructose cornsyrup is cheap and super sweet. For some reason we need that in all of our soft drinks here, while everywhere else they use regular sugar.


It's a shame really. The amount of natural food available in other countries at reasonable prices is astounding when comparing to our high in cheap sweeteners and preservatives we have here, and what's really disturbing is that we pay a lot for these cheap products now anyway. We are slaves to our gluttony.
