I went to the grocery store today. and was going to pick up some Italian sausage for some homemade pizza, but the one single brand that I swear was legal listed corn syrup on the label--which we have banned outright. I don't know what happened. I swear it didn't say that two months ago.
As a last resort, I have found some recipes for making our own sausage. Most sausage has sweeteners in them, and American food usually uses the cheapest sugar possible, which is the lovely high fructose corn syrup. I noticed another brand that listed "natural sweetener" or something to that effect, and I think that might have been where I went wrong. If it occurs in nature but needs serious processing to obtain, I think they can still say it's "natural."
The good news is, grocery shopping is getting much faster. I shop the perimeter and call it a day, though one of these days I'm going to browse the bakery aisle for fun. Anyone want to bet on what's in a Twinkie?
