Joy for Breakfast

Did you know Mrs. Butterworth's first name is "Joy"?

She also has High fructose corn syrup as her first ingredient and yummy artificial flavor. :P

The bottle and the old add is pretty cool in a retro kind of way though.

When I really want joy for breakfast I'll pour some real maple syrup.

Aw, that was just a trivia thing on my calendar this weekend. I haven't had a pancake in years and years. I once ate breakfast in a fairly high-end hotel and they had diff. types of maple syrup, believe it was from Vermont and I didn't at all care for the darkest kind. I'm not a huge maple flavor fan. The best pancake syrup I ever had was some jelly my neighbor had made from my peaches and hadn't set up/jelled.

As you know, I subscribe to a lot of recipe sites and there's usually one post/week that goes on a rant about that HFCS. I quit sugar completely once after I was married (after reading "Sugar Blues) and my Dr. daddy-in-law told me that everything turns to sugar after you eat it in one form or the other. I do understand the concerns about corn syrup, though. I was reading just the other day about how many corn strains there are left, something like 60 out of a one-time several thousand. We certainly need to quit growing it to burn in our vehicles and esp. quit giving subsidies to it and most esp. stop the farmers in this area growing it for that very reason and using up the most precious resource, water.

Thanks f/ posting!
