HFCS: It's everywhere!

I was reading this article from HowStuffWorks.com/TLC on High-fructose Corn Syrup and whether or not it really is bad for you.

They discussed the different arguments, with the conclusion that it's all about moderation. Their advice goes on: "Next, it wouldn't hurt to mimic the practices of those strange (and rare) individuals in grocery-store aisles who read the labels of the food they are purchasing."

I couldn't help but laugh to myself. Thanks to Paleo, that "strange individual" is me.

I was going through our pantry to see if we had any canned tomatoes, since we can be a little looser in our diet now that the challenge is over (meaning: we can eat some salt). This is what I found: every single can of tomatoes we have contains high-fructose corn syrup. So do my tomato soups. So instead, I had to get organic canned tomatoes when I went to the grocery store, which contain what you would expect from a can of tomatoes: tomatoes, spices, and naturally derived citric acid as a preservative. But, I had to be careful, because some cans also contained organic evaporated cane juice, which is also essentially just sugar. Who needs extra sugar in their tomatoes? This just baffles me.
