How come?

Four companies control 85% of the $2.6 billion business - Archer Daniels Midland, Cargill, Staley Mfg and CPC International. 16 plants in our corn belt manufacture the stuff, huge vats of murky fermenting liquid, fungus and chemical tweaking.
The number one source of calories in America is from HFCS in soda pop.
CPC International apparently redirects one in Wikipedia to Unilever.
It really pains me to see people coming into the office and downing that first can of soda. It's even more painful to watch those same people chug can after can of this stuff day in and day out. And in the business I'm in (software and IT) I find it disturbing to see so many software developers downing cans of HFCS. I sometimes wonder if that affects the code they write. Indeed, I wonder if there is a correlation between someone cranking out code while downing cola.
Hey - they can call it 'coca-code'!
