You can thank the misguided "low fat" movement. To make processed food low fat, the fat was removed and corn syrup added in its place.
And here's what corn syrup did for us (as if we didn't already know):
(And if that weren't enough, there has been considerable research appearing recently that suggests that dietary fat has absolutely NOTHING to do with elevated blood lipids or heart disease. Fat doesn't give you high cholesterol. Elevated insulin production [caused by a diet high in, say, corn syrup] does.)

that explains why our great grandparents could eat lard and bacon and eggs and leave the fat on their meat so it had some flavor, and they didn't have epidemic numbers of diabetes and heart attack and high cholesterol.
did it take a genius to figure this out?
Exactly, Spidey. They had bacon and lard, but they didn't have Pepsi or Oreos.
i love those corn syrup commercials "it's fine in moderation." that ignores the fact that it's almost impossible to only consume it in moderation because it's in everything...

Spidey,
My grandfather ate plain butter and had a shot of whiskey every night. He lived to be 84 and had a good life
