Curt Ellis responds to the ads promoting corn syrup ... 2

I was really happy to see this article.

The ads which cast doubt on corn syrup-related health problems are so bad that even Karl Rove must be shaking his head. (Besides, who takes a popsicle -- let alone one popsicle for two people -- on a picnic?)

Roz Cummins is a food writer who has worked in every possible permutation of food co-op, natural foods store, and granola-type restaurant. She lives in the greater Boston area and feels it is her mission to put the “eco” back in home economy.

    Finally!I was waiting for a post on this ad... I saw it about a month ago. So awkwardly hilarious I love it. Most people don't even know high fructose corn syrup is unhealthy, I think they're just calling attention to it. For the better I suppose, plus we get to enjoy unintentionally funny commercials

    Don't be suprised if they show up hereOver at the Ethicurean blog, a post about this video prompted a response from "Liz on behalf of the Corn Refiners Association". So don't be surprised if they show up here to.
    Gotta hand it to them though...those PR folks are blog-savvy! And I give them credit for identifying themselves so we can ignore them.
