    Ah, I recall watching King Corn the documentary about how high fructose corn syrup was gradually introduced into virtually all processed foods in the states, including supposed staples like bread.

    Might be worth a look for the OP:

    Cut the portions in half when you eat out. American portion sizes are insane.

    It's true. They try to hide corn fillers and high fructose corn syrup in tons of processed foods because we are a huge producer of corn. That's probably why things taste sweeter. Watch out for that. Read the labels.

    Stay away from any food that can be handed to you in your car!
