Re: Is corn syrup bad?

ohho dude! from where my fat ass sits corn syrup is very bad.
unequivocably. several three years ago I replaced my two dark beers a
day with a two litre bottle of soda. Well I drank spring water and
beer for like ten tears, that two beers a day drunk over three to
twelve hours. Then I got the shouldas on account of hepititis c and
just the general american raised eye brows or frown if you say you
drink two beers a day. So I phased them out. Well and aren't I sorry!
I've gaind thirtyfive pounds. So shava x, speak for yourself. Corn
syrup is very bad.

Don't even, dude! You are laughable. My post was written as a
temporary, preliminary answer because there was That Guy all day with
no one answering a really good dietary questions when everyone was all
busy with the personality mosh pit. Though my answer was brief and
partial it wasn't by any stretch false or untrue. This wasn't the
goddamned SAT. I was writing to That Guy's question to be kind
especially since I had specifically bemoaned good dietary discussion on
agr in response to something he said on another thread. So since I
knew something I responded from my own personal knowledge. And I
thought I remembered That Guy has a weight problem and so my answer was
customized in that way too.

I was conscious of the limited base and scope of my answer and was
commited to go research the issue if no one else spoke to it and round
out the information on the thread lest it go incompleat when it is such
an important health issue.

Last and maybe most strong of any of these factors in deciding to
answer with what I had was my confidence in That Guy. I knew he'd
stick to it and wheedle an answer out of a sleepy dopey agr. And, as
you see, he did asking exactly the right next question: wherefore does
corn syrup make fat? And the fact is, Shava x, I was told by a cousin
of mine, a dietician last month corn syup does make fat. Though how I
don't know because I was only half listening.

Other than all that which were you respectful you might have supposed
in some measure, your answer about calories was quite good. Thank you.
Good refresher.

Now a.) fucking tell me where it is fucking written that a post must be
comprehensive and strive for difinitive and, b.) why do you think it a
good Idea to nip at my ankles? Don't. <R>
