Mayor Bloomberg wants to ban the sale of soda and other sugary drinks larger than 16 ounces in NYC restaurants. He say it’s to combat the growing obesity problem. Not only is it not his, or any government entity’s business how much soda we drink, but he fails to realize that the obesity epidemic is partially the government’s fault in the first place. Many of the food products (and drinks) we eat (and drink) contain a sweetener called high fructose corn syrup. You can try to trace the obesity to whatever you like, but I’m telling you, high fructose for syrup is to blame. It’s terrible for you. Seriously. A lot of folks think that sugar is bad for you. It’s not great, but it’s nowhere near as bad for you as high fructose corn syrup.
So why do these food companies use it? Simple - its cheaper than using real sugar. Why is it cheaper than sugar? Wait for it……. because the Government subsidizes corn farmers, which makes corn dirt cheap, thus, cheap corn syrup. I had a cookout for Memorial Day this past weekend, and I got 24 ears of corn for $6. Have you ever had a Coca Cola in a different country? You may have noticed it tasted different, a little sweeter, a bit more refreshing. That’s because they use real sugar in other countries, and they use it because it’s the cheapest sweetener available.
Why does the government subsidize corn farmers? Hell if I know. Even if I did, you bet your bottom dollar their reasoning wouldn’t make a damn bit of sense. So what they’re doing is taking YOUR money, giving it to corn farmers to produce what is basically poison (the high fructose corn syrup), to be processed and sold back to you at a higher rate, which will eventually give you health problems such as diabetes and heart disease, sending you to the hospital, at which point the Government will pay for your treatment with the hard-earned wages of your fellow American taxpayer. Brilliant.
God bless America.

Morgan Hopfensperger <morganhop@gmail.com>Sat, Dec 17, 2011 at 10:17 AMTo: steve trya <stevetrya01@gmail.com>Steve,I admire your tenacity, however, I decided to keep my iPhone, and sell my kidney instead. Originally, I intended to sell my iPhone because I was certain that it would give me brain cancer - either that, or the government was reading my thoughts through it. I’ve since found out that it’s the TELEVISION, not my phone, through which the government learns my deepest, darkest secrets.My iPhone has been very useful to me over the last few years, however, my kidney has not. Have you ever thought about that, Steve? What has your kidney done for you lately? Odds are, not much. I did some research and found that some folks are willing to pay upwards of $10,000 for a kidney! Needless to say, this is why I have decided to keep my iPhone and sell my kidney instead. I need about $10,000 to convert my RV to a greasel engine so I can make it to Burning Man this year. You see, I’m going green.I expect that you will honor our original agreement of offering 150% of my asking price in order to keep other buyers at bay. So for the kidney, that grand total comes to $15,000.My Paypal address is PooPooPeanuts@Mudbutt.orgThanks Steve![Quoted text hidden]

Morgan Hopfensperger <morganhop@gmail.com>Mon, Dec 19, 2011 at 4:07 PMTo: steve trya <stevetrya01@gmail.com>Awesome! Steve, thanks so much for buying my kidney! You have no idea how much this means to me, and all my friends that are coming to the Burning Man festival with me this year, thanks to YOUR generosity! Please be patient with me, as it is difficult to get an appointment to have my kidney removed at such short notice, unless I have my neighbor do it. His name is Jim, and he has been super helpful since I moved into my house. He fixed my garbage disposal when I put a stuff aardvark in it. It’s not that I didn’t want the stuff aardvark anymore. It was really cute, but I think it stole my credit card information and bought a stereo with it. I’m willing to tolerate a lot from my toys, but identity theft is where I draw the line. I’m sure you understand.Anyway, I think Jim might be willing to remove my kidney for me since he’s so handy and all. If you’d like, I can name it before I mail it to you. I was thinking Ralph. What do you think?Look at me rambling on! Sorry to take up so much of you time. I’m going to go ahead and get this pesky kidney out and send it to you right away. Also, I opened a new Paypal account this morning. It’s Beefyfartysquirts@rectalhammer.edu.Thanks, Steve. You’re the best!
