Whiskey a Beverage Everyone Can Have

It is very impressive and shocking to know what the secrets behind what we eat are. After reading THE CONSUMER A Republic of Fat I have a better idea of what I consume everyday in almost every little thing I eat, (Corn) huge amounts of corn that have been change into many products we consume. One of a thing that shock me the most after reading this piece was in the 1820’s, unbelievably amounts of whiskey were being produces with high fructose corn syrup, and the worst part was that everybody was drinking it from grown men and women to kids. As the reading states people were “drinking the hard stuff at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, before work and after and very often during.” Something that is very difficult to imagine, how can people work and be efficient in this state? Compare to our situation right now that drinking under 21 is illegal for many good reasons as our bodies not being able to work all our senses well. The fact that people were drinking so much had really bad consequences, Lost of jobs, families were break apart, vandalism and many others. Another consequence of the over produced corn bushels, is obesity. We tend to eat more than what actually satisfy us, We now eat whatever we have in hands, and since most products from ketchup or mustard, bread or crackers, big Mac, and nuggets, and of course sodas are made from corn which is to turn into calories in other words cheap energy that we are not burning and is making our population get fat.
