I'm not saying one way or another about high fructose corn syrup but this interaction? Absolutely priceless.

Hilary and I just stared at this commercial open mouthed and agog.
WTF????????
Um, what? Try this: "What about cyanide? That it's found in nature and is usually not fatal in small doses?"
"That it comes from corn." This is the comback line! That it comes from corn. Hmmmmmm, let me see... How much processing does it take to make corn syrup from corn? Let ... me ... see ...
Not that I'm saying that annoying people who think kids will keel over dead after drinking a glass of punch are right (they will spend enternity in their own circle of hell), but this damn thing makes it look like Kashi will be putting out a corn syrup line sometime soon.
yes, yes...it's equally horrifying that she's arguing that high fructose corn syrup is both tasty and so healthy for you, too. Although, I don't think it's probably worse than refined white sugar but still. what's so funy to me here...Mother A is being uhhh seriously, lady? excuse me? And while i don't see someone walking up and saying "you don't care what the kids eat" we all know it could start with "that has high fructose corn syrup in it" and after that it's totally true to life. At which point, Mother B comes back with a whole bunch of random information about the virtues of corn syrup. What can Mother A do?
Looove that top! Yes, sometimes love that top is all everybody can handle.
I divide my time between raising the children and dissertating. The children are Allison (5), Frances (2), and Jude (newborn!). The dissertation topic is not nearly as interesting.

*ahem*
Okay, who walks up to someone and says, "So you don't care about what your kids eat."
Is this a real commercial or a spoof?
Whatever it is, it is damn funny. Too bad it's not part of the Napolean Dynamite movie.
