Anheuser-Busch, the parent company of Bud Light, is looking to make amends with the National Corn Growers Association after the beer giant aired commercials with the slogan "brewed with no corn syrup" during Sunday's Super Bowl.


quote:

The ad was meant to be funny but the National Corn Growers Association, or NCGA, wasn't laughing. After the Bud Lights ads aired, the group posted a tweet in response to the ad: "America's corn farmers are disappointed with you... thanks Miller Lite and Coors Lite for supporting our industry."


ouch

This. If you think sugar is bad for you, then HFCS is basically poison.

I still can’t believe they couldn’t think of anything else other than “annoying and overplayed dilly dilly people, but this time they talk about corn syrup.” Cause people who drink Bud Light are consistently concerned about whether or not their beer is made with fricking corn syrup. It’s all I overhear in bars nowadays.

Yep - we get no environmental benefit from using ethanol in our gasoline yet the federal government continues to subsidize and mandate it.

Since they are all owned by German companies, I would think that should bother them more.
