I scored 100% on the quiz, but I fail to do all the stuff.

In particular, I don't have my tires
inflated enough because I hate dealing with the air pump. Not much of an excuse.
That also would me a mark against me on the when to make an old person stop driving quiz.

Time to reform, I guess, but not today (it's raining).

The corn growers are. The sugar industry is. You could tie it in with the latest edition of the farm bill, which is STILL slow-poking its bloated way through Congress. In January, we were supposed start acting upon a Free Trade sweetener deal with Mexico. I can't tell whether things went according to schedule, if we're now experiencing the feared dumping of foreign sugar across our borders (or whether we're now pouring HFCS on Mexico). The more I try to figure this stuff out, the more mind-boggled I get. It's sort of a long way from nutrition, but in a practical sense, it's not. It's not as big a deal as the whole corn to ethanol fiasco, though. I'm glad that some people in the Congress are starting to reconsider.
