Okay, you all know my stance on sugar, foods that act like sugar and high fructose corn syrup. Let’s take a look at some fun videos that others have made.
The Real Deal
In case you haven’t seen this, this is that ad from the High Fructose Corn Syrup lobbying group:
Even Funnier
While you might have found that video funny, here are some even more funny.
This first one is by the guys who did King Corn and they probably could have done it as a advertisement for my book, Sugarettes. If you haven’t checked out their documentary, do! It is great!
The next three are great as well. Some of them need some help with editing/production, but the point is well taken.
Ha! Love these, thanks.
I groaned aloud when I first saw the original commercials on TV. The Corn Refiners Association’s propaganda wasn’t clever enough to fool my 4-year-old though… when she saw one of those commercials for the first time, she said to me “What?! They’re just trying to get your money, huh Mom? That’s crazy — that stuff’s all JUNK FOOD!” Smart kid! I’m so proud.
Hi Dr. O,
Love your site and am also a big fan of King Corn. I live in Colorado in Boulder.
Hope you are staying warm in this storm.
