Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
High Fructose Corn Syurp is GREAT! (also somewhat about bad PR campaigns)

Or so implies a new group of commercials from the Corn Refiners Association. Apparently for some reason HFCS has gotten a bad rap and the corn industry isn't exactly seen in a positive light either, so now a PR campaign to change that is under way.

This is the website hocked by the commercials with links to the commercials themselves.
Since I'm no expert on this issue I have only vague perceptions on what this is all about, name HFCS apparently is in way too many products and contributes to the obesity problem we have in America, along with the silly subsidies the corn industry gets through farm bills.
So when I saw these commercials I instantly thought of another commercial I saw promoting the benefits of carbon dioxide.
Yes, I said THE BENEFITS OF CARBON DIOXIDE.
"We call it life."
Which is hilarious in it's absurdity to me. Warning: Don't fucking read the comments.
So anyway let's discuss this. Am I misinformed? IS HFC getting a bad rap? Is it safe in moderation? And what level would be moderate?
