Another thought on the HFCS name change

Environmental cartoonist Jay Mohr gives his interpretation of the request to change the name of high fructose corn syrup to corn sugar.

Yesterday, I told you that the Corn Refiners Association has petitioned the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be able to change the name of high fructose corn syrup to corn sugar. The name change is supposed to stop consumer confusion, but it seems to me that it will just confuse consumers into thinking that high fructose corn syrup is no longer in their foods.
 
Joe Mohr, the cartoonist behind Hank D and the Bee, has his own take on it in today’s cartoon titled “Misleading Titles.” He gave me permission to share the cartoon with my readers. It gets political, so remember; the cartoonist is entitled to his opinion just like you are.
 
 

Hank D and the Bee is a weekly environmental cartoon series from Joe Mohr. He can be found at www.JoeMohrToons.com and @GreenCartoons on twitter.

I am against the hatred that the Tea Party espouses therefore I am for stoning, killing, and wife-beating???
That's a crazy leap...I'll call it "laughable".

It is ironic that the cartoon tries to impugn the tea party as racist, xenophobic, etc., but the same cartoonist would never say an unkind word against Islam, “the religion of peace", though they routinely stone adulterers, kill homosexuals, and beat their wives! If it weren't so transparent, it would be laughable.

Just want to say you are a piece of ****. This type of thing is exactly why the cartoonist is calling the Tea Party racist. You are obviously for the Tea Party, probably a member of the said hate group, and then you tell us how all Muslims are violent murders who beat their wives. Well I guess I wont mention that Christians also beat their wives, molest children, and murder innocent people. So to follow your logic I guess Atheist's are the only peaceful people around.
