lies, lies, lies, yeah… they’re gonna get you

There are so many reasons this is horrifying, in some ways I do not know where to start.

Please watch these two commericals:

So first off, if you want to know what is so bad about HFCS then please go here, because I have written about why this stuff is killing us, as well as doing a disservice to our farming industry. You can also go here and read about the medical bills associated with the western diet.

I think, however, the worst thing about these commercials is where I saw one for the first time. THE FOOD NETWORK!!! So, here is this channel dedicated to getting people to eat at home, to cook healthfully, to buy organic, to eat light… I can’t tell you how many times I hear one of their chefs say…. “this way, you can control what you eat”.

But, you see, when it comes right down to it, even this network is willing to compromise itself and lie to its viewers about the reality of high fructose corn syrup, if it means getting money in their pockets. As much as they may put on their shows that they care about you, I just can’t believe it and neither should you. If they cared they would not allow for an advertiser that gives you false information and is in such conflict with everything else they, supposedly, stand for.

I have always enjoyed watching the Food Network and have learned some from their shows. However, I also believe that turning off the network will show who has the power in this relationship. If they continue to put on blatantly false advertising, then I will not watch this network, and I encourage you to do the same. I also would encourage you to write a letter to the owners of the network, by going here.

I am going to.
