Seems some folks want to control what we eat and how we eat. I think

that stinks.

Don't like it eat some artificial crab meat.

Nothing to Apologize about. Someday gardens are trees maybe not needed.
Just like in the movie classic, "Silent Running" with Bruce Dern.
In that movie the entire planet consumed artificial foods.

Also the "high fructose corn syrup" to be renamed "Corn Sugar".

It would be a misnomer as corn sugar is glucose.
High fructose corn syrup is something else but is functionally
identical
to sucrose when put in the high acid environment of sodas.
Food police should bitch about something real.


You are obviously mistaken. HFCS isn't functionally identical to
sucrose. At the risk of repeating myself:

A sweet problem: Princeton researchers find that high-fructose corn
syrup prompts considerably more weight gain

by Hilary Parker
A Princeton University research team has demonstrated that all
sweeteners are not equal when it comes to weight gain: Rats with access
to high-fructose corn syrup gained significantly more weight than those
with access to table sugar, even when their overall caloric intake was
the same.*
