Because sugar tastes good and high fructose corn syrup is extremely cheap because of subsidies.

easy way to buff up the caloric content

Because they don't trust us to do it on our own

It's what plants crave.

>>8810262
because they also invest in the health sector

>>8810262
It tastes good. You got something against food tasting good. You some kind food nazi?

>Government complains about obesity
>Still subsidizes corn for HCFS production
>Companies put it in everything due to pricing and taste
>People continue to get fatter, sicker, lazier, and stupider
>Nobody does a fucking thing about it besides tell people to exercise more
>Food industry continues to cash in off of the general populace and government subsidies
>Tfw you live in the most free contry on the planet

No idea, in iceland and got a burger from some airport place and the ketchup they had was so much better then anything america makes.

It tasted closer to tomato soup, fuckin amazing.

Also chocolate is better

High fructose corn syrup (ot just fructose) does not release leptin hormones which are responsible for the feeling of fullness, encouraging people to eat more (or rather discouraging them from stopping). Why do you think fat fucks always choke down on coke bottles?

Thank you epic science man

>>8810262
our brains are addicted to sugar, we need it
after my uncle started weight watchers he went into sugar withdrawal, sluggish, irritable, kept getting headaches
he's still 300 lbs though

Most americans relate fat (in the body) with "fat" (as in food). So most americans buy "fat-free" foods but don't realize all they do is replace the fat with sugar and other syrups.

>>8810262
Sugar is highly addictive. If they add sugar to it people will buy it, like addicts.

>>8810262
Who cares about sugar. The question you should be asking is why the fuck is soy in every American food? That one should get noggin joggin,

>>8810918
Seriously. It's a pain in the ass if you don't want to eat soy. You have to look at the ingredients of every last fucking thing, Fuck.

>>8810303
>blaming corn farmers for what you put in your body
People just aren't responsible enough to handle freedom in such a decadent society.

>>8810410

Your body's cells run on sugar... This is like Jr High School science. You can eat anything you want and stay a healthy size if you exercise enough.

Everyone rags on america and their healthcare system but truth is they have what works for them because with their fat people all over the place and shootings every day it would bankrupt them to pay for all that. They're not like Canada or Europe where you can live your life without seeing fatties.

>>8811174
America has the perfect capitalist system.
>The argicultural industry employies chemical companies and receive State funding to prop up unsustainable monocultures and factory farms
>They convert their surplus of corn into cheap sugar and sneak it as a sweeter into low nutritional but highly caloric food and sell that enmasse
>People need to buy and eat more food to feel full, but are addicted to the sweetener and become fat off your cheap shit food
>People then need to buy medication and healthcare to make their lives livable
It is the perfect collusion between business across varying industries

I live in WV, obesity rate is double that national average.
Front asses every day in droves. Fucking horrible place to live.

>>8811167
The overall size may be healthy, but everything else is not. Athletes like runners who have a shitty diet are just as prone to cardio-vascular diseases as fast food-munching couch potatoes.

Americans have among the lowest carbohydrate intakes in the world. The actual problem is their incredibly high intake of added fat in the form of oil and butter.

The secondary problem is that they are so fat that they actually think sugar is the problem and not, you know, the cheeseburgers and chicken nuggets, the bacon, the pizza, the fries, 99% of which contains more added fat than added sugar.

>>8811203
>cheeseburgers
>pizza
>fries

nigga those are carbs, leave fat alone

>>8811216
Thanks for reminding everybody that people are also so nutritionally illiterate that they are literally incapably of identifying and understanding the macronutrient composition of a food ad gauging how much fat it contains. That also explains why Americans are so in love with low-carbohydrate diet despite already having a lower carbohydrate intake than the vast majority of the world population. As you can see, the problems run deep.

>Sugar is highly addictive. If they add sugar to it people will buy it, like addicts.
kinda getting there

hes the shit fuckwits
sugar is a drug and addicting
sugar wants more sugar
so eating refined foods (which makes most foods just fatty/salty/sweet or a combination of the 3) specifically sugary ones make anyone hungry quickly again
imagine adding gasoline to a fire it burns right off
well sugar is the gasoline and it wants more of the same shit to heat up again thus the hunger many have every few hours
meat is just as bad I had the shakes when I was starting to eating clean /i felt like a fiend
eat better my sna/ck/er eat better
reminder chew your food well 23/30 times till the consistency is like water
why you might ask
firstly your stomach had never had any teeth
truly the enzymes in the saliva break down your food in order for your stomach to take the next step
these enzymes in every ones saliva also counteract the stomach acids so you can say goodbye to heartburn and acid reflux shit

Welcome to artificial sweeteners. All the insulin spikes but none of the "sugar"

Can't tell if you're fat and blaming others for your problem with sugar addiction or your trolling. Either way I'm mad as fuck at you. Well played sir.

>>8810262
Because it's cheap and keeps people fat, stupid, and obedient. Much like television.

>>Government complains about obesity

The government are the ones secretly putting lipids into Niggers tap water so they all become Obese & Diabetics.

It's fucking whitey's fault.

American society was at an impasse in the mid 1900s. Cardiovascular disease was on the rise and we were trying to figure out what the fuck was going on. The main culprits were sugar and fat in our diet. A proclaimed American scientist blamed sugar whilst a British scientist blamed fat.

Long story short, the American studies won out and having low fat foods became the new healthy option. However, by cutting out fat, you need sugar to compensate for lack of flavor and texture. The advent of HFCS made things worse as it was a cheaper option to pure sugar. Fructose is metabolized very differently from regular glucose as it is primarily consumed by the liver. So instead of being a fat fuck from all the glucose you were eating, you become a fat fuck with accelerated non-alcoholic fatty liver and a slew of metabolic issues.

Fructose is killing this country. Stop eating it.

>>8811981
That's exactly what yurocucks do though. All they talk about is America while the funny thing is no one would even be able to guess what irrelevant shithole you live in.

>>8810262
I don't know. I find it annoying because I pretty much stopped liking sweet things when I was 12.
