Corn = Fat

This is an amazing article on the link between corn, especially high fructose corn syrup, is the primary reason for skyrocketing obesity in adults and children.

"How Corn Makes You Fat"

"A state-by-state survey issued yesterday found that adult obesity rates increased in 37 states in the past year. More than 25% of adults are now obese in 28 states, up from 19 states last year. In 1991 no state had an obesity rate above 20%. Today more than 20% of adults are obese in every state except Colorado. Overall, two-thirds of adult Americans are now overweight or obese, and 23 million children (14% of kids age 2-5, 18.8% of those aged 6-11 and 17.4% for teenagers)."
