The other thing that they leave out of their ads is that the corn they use is genetically modified to a point that it is not fit for human consumption if eaten straight off the farm.

what bothers me about these ads is that the person always asks, "So? Whats wrong with HFCS?" and the other person HAS NO ANSWER! They just look dumb and uneducated.
Hardly.

I am so glad to see I am not the only one offended by this ad campaign. I believe it was put out there by corn growers since this is a source of income for them but I could be wrong.
