News from the US increasingly feels like a fever dream, or something out of the most bureaucratic dystopia.
Gee, the American obesity epidemic will forever remain a mystery.
And so the cycle continues Fun fact: there's no need for you to drink milk
but I like milk!
There might be no need, but that doesn't mean I'll stop drinking it, I'd probably switch to Soy Milk though if it was cheap enough.
Nobody said you shouldn't drink milk, it simply isn't necessary.
I know nobody said that, I'm not a moron, but if you don't need consume something then past personal enjoyment, there's no reason why you should keep consuming it.
Personal enjoyment is what drives my choice in food and drink. If I dont enjoy it I'm not gonna eat or drink it.
Okay, but that's kind of irrelevant to the topic at hand.
its ok as it's corn and corn is one of your five a day! you just need more corn syrup in your life.
Given how much of it is in food over there I'd imagine it to be 30 of your 5 a day.

I've cut carbs from my diet and I've lost 115 pounds.... And I've also saved a fortune not buying junk food. Wonder how long until 'studies' decry low carb diets
I drank soy milk once and now I'm an emaciated libtard cuck. Soy, not even once.
The thing about the US is *Everything* has sugar in it. Some friends from New Zealand were here last year and they had their first peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and they couldn't stand it. The peanutbutter was way too sweet for them, the jelly was off the charts, and even the bread was too sweet for their taste. Fuckin' white bread.
Cane sugar destroys corn syrup in every way. I took a look at the ingredients for a loaf of white bread the other day and I couldn't fucking believe there was artificial flavoring in it. Why the hell does BREAD need fake ass shit in it?
Seems like they just cut the middle man this time, so instead of lobbying the current politician they just send somebody directly.
Just crossing the border from a Canadian Walmart to an American Walmart, you guys have totally different shit than we do. Even your brands that we have are usually somewhat different. Even basic shit in the US for some reason has extra sweetner in it.
The fact there's a fucking corn syrup lobby tells you just how fucked US Capitalism is. I mean you don't, but you don't need to eat any of the foods you normally eat anyways. You could survive off literally nothing but a diet of potatoes alone and do just fine. Milk happens to be a really really good source of all three macro nutrients, plus potassium, calcium and vitamin A, so I dunno about you but I'm glad my ancestors evolved the ability to drink it.
They've already been doing that.
There's way more different kinds of milk.
Maybe there are but I know that I like Soy Milk which is why I mentioned only that one.
