Corn syrup is one culprit so miss used in the world, because sugar is sanctioned so many places, so corn syrup is cheaper. Corn syrup has been used as pancake syrup for decades by us in the USA. That said there is no place in a free society for Mandates for Anything. You want to eat garbage, be couch potatoes, fine, but “you” should pay your own way and your own health costs. No burden upon society. You eat until you are 200 – 300 + kilos? You foot the bill not everyone else. Again that said, why do we feed people stuck in bed because they weigh a ton? And if your health fails? You either foot the bill and or die because of your stupidity…
We chose to eat real Maple Syrup and real Butter, not the cheap alternatives that eat you from the inside out…
Alcohol is poison, cigarettes kill, yet you are free to chose. No one should tell you other than the fact that they truly are poor choices, that you put into your body. It is not the choice of governments and special groups to tell us different…
Blockade sugar drinks, tax everything, ban it, interdiction’s, bar it, outlawing, forbidding and simple disallowing are all a form of and are prohibitions…
Prohibitions have always failed in there implementations, yet they succeed in that they create huge black markets for the goods or services (even governments run black markets to garner the money from their own sanctions items). After all no one can and or cares to even stop the drug trade in all the prisons. But the constant advertising on media should be curtailed as it was for cigarettes, and probably should be for alcohol, which by the way was illegal by a constitutional amendment and later overturned…
I lived in a dry county for years. Dry means no alcohol and thus everyone and I mean everyone literally, including any politician and members of the anti-alcohol Baptist University….could be found even at lunch time across the border of the county (in a county that it was okay to drink alcohol) sipping a cold beer and eating ribs and burgers. Then back to work after sipping cider. Talk about a busy food/bar joint….not to mention that moonshine was huge business all over the county…
So go ahead engage in your habits, ignore what your politicians do and win your Darwin awards. Thus, don’t pass/accept and or agree to any edicts, prohibitions or laws that only empower the corrupt lawmakers to regulate every aspect of the lives of “Their” constituents…
