One of the main issues that I believe is a HUGE problem in this country is sugar. There is sugar in literally everything. Sometimes we don’t even use sugar, we use a product called High-Fructose corn syrup. This is much sweeter than sugar and companies do not need to use much of it. Plus, it’s much cheaper.

Europe puts a quota on High-Fructose corn syrup so companies cannot use much of it and use more natural sugar.
