The sugar and high fructose corn syrup in food. I am currently back in the states visiting and the food is almost sickening sweet.
I’ve never eaten meat, so I never knew, but my husband checked every packaged sausage in four grocery stores (I stg that’s what he wanted to see) when we visited recently and they all had high fructose corn syrup. I’m relatively defensive of the use of hfcs over sugar, but I don’t know how people justify it in sausage (I would even forgive one with barbecue sauce in it or something, but an unflavored sausage shouldn’t be sweetened!)
