Punky is attempting to go High Fructose Corn Syrup free for the upcoming year.

Period.

Okay, well, on the rare occasions I eat out, I'm not gonna sweat it. Though I will attempt to order things I think are HFCS free.

It isn't that I am worried about cookies or other sweet treats, it is the things that are supposed to be not sweet. Have you read the labels on your savory treats lately? A lot have HFCS. No one needs that much sugar content in their diet.

I thought about going Paleo...but I like rice & pasta...and milk & cheese, so...I'm going HFCS free instead. I eat a lot of fresh vegetables, especially peppers, because I am a genius at growing peppers. I even like corn in and of itself (give me corn tortillas over flour 75% of the time), but HFCS seems to be the worst of corn all wrapped up in syrupy-baddness. So, I am going to attempt to completely eliminate it from my diet.

I hope this goes better (or at least longer) than when I tired to to buy things that weren't made in China*.

*I have nothing at all against the Chinese people or culture, but I am a little afraid of how much of our country's debt is owned by the Chinese government.

Really hate working with people who tell you one thing and someone else something else, then blame you for their conflicting information. Thank TPTB I learned my lesson in corporate America early, save your emails, they help get you out from under buses when people throw you under them.
