Default high fructose corn syrup

Michael Pollan's marvelous book, The Omnivore's Dilemma, points out many of the consequences of our disastrous dependence on HFCS -- from diabetes to an agricultural policy with a disproportionate emphasis on corn. It also discusses alternatives, such as Joel Salatin's remarkable Polyface Farm in Virginia. Very readable and may change many of the ways we think about food. Jon
