I think that one goes back to Ray-Gun.

You are correct TC. Ray-Gun proclaimed ketchup as a member of the vegetable group. I believe pickle relish was in there too. Both loaded with high fructose corn syrup. Nice one Ronnie

Nixon feared the 60тАЩs protests. He ordered the FDA and Sec of Ag to make food as cheap as possible. The sugar beet was given wings, and destabilized sugar cane producing countries. High fructose corn syrup too ( Sen Grassley). Nixon didnтАЩt get the protesters like the 1960тАЩs, but we got chronic obesity and diabetes, and cancer. тАЬThe Hacking of the American MindтАЭ is an informative read.

Good old Amalgamated Sugar in Twin Falls. Sugar beet fields everywhere. I used to ride my bike by the plant on my ride to the south hills. Whatever they did to process those beets into granulated sugar smelled really bad.
