sisterly love my sister loves me. she works at a fru-fru grocery store in the rich part of town. she ordered me a case of mexican coke for christmas. which is way cool for two reasons. first, it comes in the old fashioned bottles. not the pop top cans. which are really pretty. second, it's made with real sugar instead of corn syrup. here's a few reasons to avoid corn syrup. one, corn is heavily subsidized by tax dollars. which just totally screws up a free market economy. thanks corn lobby. two, corn is usually a mono-crop. meaning it's grown on land that never grows anything else. so it has to be heavily fertilized and pesticized. which just totally screws up the local environment. and by local i mean everything from kansas to the gulf of mexico. three, corn syrup is often contaminated with detectable levels of mercury. which just totally screws up a person's nervous system. this is what i think actually triggers my migraines. people blame the mercury in thalidomide for autism. heh. the amount of mercury in thalidomide based vaccinations is trivial compared to the amount of mercury parents let kids guzzle in fruit flavored drinks and candy. no wonder autism and adhd are on the rise. sheehs. some people need to get a clue. in fairness, i think they've reduced the amount of mercury in corn syrup. which is good. fourth, corn syrup dissolves better in water than cane sugar. so they can pack more of a bad thing into your drinks. fifth, corn syrup seems to interfere with the message that says you're full. the brain never gets that message. so the body just keeps eating. and eating. and eating. which just totally screws up your healthy diet and makes you fat. and when you get too fat to exercise, you die. fatty.  ¶ 8:00 AM
