rt, will you ban it?

No, because, it does not fix the root problem.

Also, banning things isn't the way to fix things.

I would also be a hypocrite for changing to legalize pot, while also chanting to ban corn-based sugars.

Sure, I don't care. Don't think I ever had it.

As an American, that's crazy to think about. It's in almost everything in the US.

It's just sugar with more fearmongering, though.

It is just sugar, but it's not fear mongering. The reason it is in everything is because of our agricultural policies and manufactured food always uses sugar and salt to "short-circuit" our taste-buds that evolved for survival.
