The world is made of high fructose corn syrup ...

... and we just live in it.

Or at least, that's the conclusion I came to the other day.

There was I - being all smug with myself. My mother-in-law had come home with some snacks for the kids, that turned out contained HFCS. I felt rather full of myself in the belief that I'm very careful about such things, I always check the labels before I buy anything at the grocery store, blah blah blah, blah ....

... until a few day after when I tossed a can of kidney beans into the cart with no thought or care. Only to discover when we got home that the canned kidney beans I tossed in were packed in high fructose corn syrup!

What a fucking maroon! I'm sure my mother-in-law has a recipe for humble pie she's dying to serve me.

I understand grocery chains pretending to claim they are looking out for our health and all that claptrap. But really Safeway, must you fuck up a canned vegetable like that?

P.S. Now I check every label.
