Mind you, this doesn't address things like baked goods (pastries and whatnot), candy, or 'fast food'. Nor will I do more than mention corn sweetners (how many ears of corn does it take to make a teaspoon of 'corn sweetner'??). Shall we continue our discussion of exploitation now? As always, Joanne E.
