Shit my uncle said yesterday:

Asians (yes, Asians) developed high fructose corn syrup to kill us.

I wasn't even bugged about the whole conspiracy theory thing. I love that shit, nothing is more entertaining than that shit. But seriously, Asians? At least be specific dude. It's safe to assume he's thinking of East Asia, but maybe he doesn't know that there are many different countries in that region, many of which would never collaborate, not even to kill Americans. Or would they...

THE WORLD IS AGAINST US

Edit: maybe he got it from this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysine_price-fixing_conspiracy Never mind totally thinking of something else

I was going to say I was pretty sure that no Asians were to blame for HFCS but I couldn't find the book I read about it in. Silly me, I forgot about the Internet. OK, there are some Japanese involved at some point, but they don't see to be the main culprits, really.

Quote
HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP
"In 1967 new Japanese enzyme technology brought about a revolution in corn syrup development. High fructose corn syrup was made by a more complete hydrolysis of glucose to fructose. IsoSweet, a high fructose corn syrup developed by [A.E. Staley Manufacturing Company], was approximately 92 percent as sweet as sugar."
---Oxford Encyclopedia of Food and Drink in America, Andrew F. Smith editor, [Oxford University Press:New York] 2004, Volume 1 (p. 346)

"...the premium is high-fructose corn syrup, first commercialized in 1967 by the Clinton Corn Processing Co. of Clinton, Iowa, which patented Isomerose (named for the enzyme xylose isomerase, which converts glucose to fructose). By 1972, the company had increased the sweetness from 14 to 42 percent fructose, to make it equivalent to ordinary sugar. As sugar prices rose, food and beverage industrialists began to replace more and more sucrose with "Isosweet." Within four years, production of the supersweet syrup jumped from two hundred thousand to two and a half billion pounds a year, and within the decade it had become a major component of all major soft drinks. Today, HFCS can be made 25 percent sweeter than sugar...and in crystalline form is an important rival to saccharin in the sugar-substitute industry."

I'm sure the Japanese were super eager to make money off of all those corn fields they have.

I'm a little surprised by this.

And wouldn't it be Midrand?

Of course he actually attached a power point slideshow to the email.  Hey, I just got an email from 1998.  Hilarious.  I normally don't open these because they are always the same over processed photos that are supposed to make you go Wow! accompanied by some treacly message.  But this one intrigued me because of the title 'Digital Editing.' and the remark in the email that "This is something we all need to learn to do!" 

So anyway, it looks like they have brought the powerpoint experience to the internet for the digitally challenged.  Awesome!

I only bring this to your attention because I got fooled.  As I was watching the slideshow I started formulating my reply.  I almost never reply to these bs emails, but I wanted to comment on the "something we need to learn remark."  Dude, I KNOW how to do this, I was gonna brag to my uncle.  Maybe even link him to some of my work.

Then I got to the last couple of slides.  WTF, all of that was just a set up for a lame ass Hillary Clinton joke? *heavy sigh*

When I searched for that slideshow I found several versions.  All the same except the last two panels were changed.  I saw at least 2 with George Bush before I found the one with Hillary Clinton. 

I don't think I need to reinvent that wheel.  Wait, were you talking about something else?  Did something specific happen in '02?

There were three goats, you know.  The first one was Goat A.  The second one was Goat B. 

Ash is talking about that third goat.
