that's the fun part, it's been snuck into all of our foods that oftentimes we have little choice.
You can either cook all of your meals from scratch, or deal with high fructose corn syrup. That's livin in America.
Its even in a lot of our "ingredients" for example... Most Americans aren't making spaghetti sauce from scratch. So when it's pasta ragu night your getting an extra helping of sugar from the sauce. Most European ketchups are nearly inedible to an American palate.
Spaghetti sauce is just tomatoes and spices. It gets ready by the time the spaghetti are cooked
They taste great to most Americans, the sugar is mostly in there to cover up low quality ingredients
Because we have to keep the price of corn high. Duh.
