I hear people all the time (fat people) cut out "sugary foods" and they loose 5 or 10 lbs and wonder wtf. I tell them to cut out breads and pasta or limit them and usually they will loose much less.

Are you advising them to cut out all carbs? If so, for what length of time? Cutting all carbs for a short while is fine if you want to lose weight fast, but losing weight fast isn't exactly ideal for the body. I think a healthy mix of carbs, fats, and protein is the key, in small meals throughout the day in order to keep the metabolism higher. Combine this with exercise and you have a healthy lifestyle. I'm not a fan of any diet that eliminates something completely.

Find an organic butcher or farm around you.

Around here I've found two farms that offer grass fed meat and all sorts of organic goodness. They have a shop right at the farm. It's pricier but well worth it.

Grass fed just tastes better, that's the biggest issue with that. Has nothing to do with corn syrup.

I am excited. Mom is getting a bunch of chickens and we are going in with her. They will be free range and chemical free. Add this to the beef we get from them and the veggies they grown and we are practically organic! Wish I had my own acreage to have a garden..

Kell.. wouldn't know where to find one here in Cow-town. I will just pilfer from mom and dad. Their garden is HUGE.

Pound for pound, bread is better than HFCS. Especially if it's good bread like stone-ground or pumpernickel (not cheap shit like Wonder)

Try to stay with me, I expanded the topic of conversation to corn in general, and how it is super saturated every corner of the food industry, not just HFCS. Sometimes conversations deviate a little bit. I thought that was pretty clear, but maybe not.

But there is nothing wrong with corn.....it is the same as saying that water is in every corner of the food industry. Does this make water bad? But now add chemicals to make Anti-freeze and add it to your food, then it would be bad. But it doesn't at all make water bad. Get the drift?

Actually the corn being put out today has a horrible fatty acid profile and is nothing compared to "back in the day"

corn.
