Corn does have those calories -- but they are also inaccessible.  Certainly in the corn syrup form, which seems to account for all the obesity in America, it cannot be digested by the human body.

So, yes, pulling corn syrup will out of the American food chain will:

a) Not decrease our caloric intake, because we can't process it anyway.

b) Make us all as skinny as Frenchmen.

Confound it, Jabailo, this is a riddle. How can corn syrup be both 1) indigestible, and 2) causing us to be fat? I must admit that I read a lot of your comments for their unintended humor, but this one tops all. Please, please tell us how this works. I can't wait.

If corn isn't digestible, then I guess meat must be like digesting rubber tires ;D

The real issue is that we're pissing away tax dollars for something which doesn't even solve any problems.
