I've come to believe that "low fat" foods are a scam to get you to eat more sugar. HFCS started appearing in foods in the mid 70's and that's when the obesity epidemic exploded.

Came by this thread for the first time today and had to scan backwards to find what I was looking for, reference to HFCS. I agree with this poster.
Have not seen this movie though plan to eventually, but can say that most probably more than any other thing, HFCS and Non-fat foods killed American's health and it was never the same afterwards. There's tons of articles and evidence to this effect, but people are free to believe what they want.

At a hotel breakfast pantry I watched people eating (only) sweets and carbs for breakfast and just shake my head. I saw parents willing feed their children white starchy waffles and "Pancake Syrup" as the first meal of their day - it is 100% HFCS and food coloring. I see people at supermarket checkout counters with liters of soft drinks in their carts. I've been away from the US a long time was shocked to see this, other countries don't eat like this. IMNSHO any more than one can of soda, any kind, a month is too much, and even that is too much. Many people here are also proud of eating bacon, gotta wonder who is putting those ideas in their heads.

BTW once in a while I do have pancakes, a select very few times a year, and only with pure maple syrup. But I treat those occasions as indulgences. At the same frequency I have one can of soda with pizza.
All those non-fat yogurts, 2% milk, sugarless candy, artificial sweeteners? I don't go near them or anything non-fat or diet anything, they're poison in my book, only whole milk fat for me, when I have those things, and in great moderation.
Yes were we all misled by food triangles and FDA recommendations from the past, but there is no reason for people to not know better by now, I think many just choose to ignore their better sense.
Again these are just my observations of food consumption habits since returning to the States, and they are a real eye-opener.
