Buffy ,'First Date'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
From waaay back, re: HFCS - corn subsidies over subsidies for fruit and veggies = expensive real food and cheap "food" that all contains HFCS.
A friend of mine who is allergic to corn informed me that most cottage cheese contains corn starch. Whodathunk?
at the end of the day
...and now I've got a Les Miz earworm. Hee.

Huh. I wonder what it adds? (Texture, flavor, shelf life?)
The major villian in the HFCS saga is U.S. price supports for sugar, which make sugar prices in the U.S. two to four times more than anywhere else. That's also a factor in driving U.S. candy companies to move to Canada and Mexico. Corn sugars are much cheaper. Why manufacturers want to put some kind of sweetener in almost everything baffles me, though.
What Ginger said.
I mean, I don't know a single pizza place that doesn't put HFCS in their dough.
I guess the masses just want everything really sweet.

I'm assuming it's used as a thickening agent?
I want to do away with "task" as a verb, as in, "Susan has been tasked with updating the handbook," only I'm afraid it's a battle I'm fighting alone.
But I still think it's icky.
I do not like tasked. I also do not understand the rise of "gifting" when we already had "giving."
I'm afraid it's a battle I'm fighting alone.
Not alone, although I don't know I can do much good in your company.
I hate "task" as a verb. But I also hate "partner" as a verb, and that seems to have near-wholesale acceptance.
Utilize. What is wrong with use?
