High Fructose Fun

Trying to avoid high fructose corn syrup is pretty difficult. Lots of yummy things are made with it. While most of them I had stripped from my diet earlier, I had two hold outs. One was the salad dressing as discussed yesterday. I switched to balsamic vinegar and olive oil. That way I have no worries about the additives and calories. Olive oil is a good fat. The other was Kleinpeter chocolate milk. Why? Please Kleinpeter, just use cane sugar to sweeten it. I had to switch to Promised Land. I would prefer to support my local industry. Of course, Kleinpeter isn't supporting our sugar cane growers since they use high fructose corn syrup (not something we grow here - I am guessing). I guess I will feel less bad then. Fuck em.

Have you tried Smith Creamery? I don't know what ingredients are in their chocolate milk, but they are local. They have no added hormone, grass fed, happy cows. You can get their milk at fresh pickins, southside produce & the saturday market downtown (there are probably other retailers here that carry them but I'm not sure who). www.smithcreamery.com
