Click Here for SNL Corn Syrup Commercial - Video - NBC.com
I especially like the skit's ending remark: "Check out our website and no OTHER websites." Might I say that it was nearly impossible to find this video. Coincidink? I think not. There was another similar HFCS skit on youtube (see post below) but one of the characters looks like a drag queen. Hence it's probably not something the Corn Refiner's Association will block. Same basic message though. How much semi-natural poison you want in "moderation"?

More of the HFCS Type Argument

Yes it's a parody and it's supposed to be extreme but I think it puts the whole "moderation" argument in perspective given the rise of obesity and diabetes in children. They even had the decency to say "somewhat" natural in the skit. Do we even have a clue what moderation is? Like soy, corn is often subsidized, genetically modified (and unlabeled), and put in just about everything. The thing is our bodies don't handle HFCS the same way as real sugar and it's clearly showing it's genetic differences in the bodies of our children.
