....is everything getting sweeter?

I was reading the posts about the food dislikes survey on the rfc site, and the
Miracle Whip posts got me to thinking. I used to love egg salad and tuna salad with
Miracle Whip. Now, it just doesn't taste the same. It's terrifically sweet, and seems
to have lost the tang, or at least some of it. I've also noticed this in other foods,
foods that aren't meant to be sweet. I believe it's the prevalence of high fructose
corn syrup that's the main problem....but my question is why mess with a working
product? Miracle Whip had it's fans already...why change it? The same with Campbell's
Tomato Soup. Why ruin a perfectly good comfort food by changing the recipe and adding
that disgusting sweetener that obliterates all other flavors?


Luckily for me, I can't eat most of these foods much anymore anyway.

Sorry to rant so...I've been sick so long all I can think of is food today!
