Joe Biden On How Corn Syrup Is The New Terrorism
BILL Maher: Senator Biden, forgetting about the upcoming Iowa caucus for just a moment, which would you honestly say is more likely to contribute to the death of your average American: a terrorist strike, or high fructose corn syrup, and [sic] air that has too much coal in it?
Joe Biden: Air that has too much coal in it, corn syrup next, then a terrorist attack. But that is not in any way to diminish the fact that a terrorist attack is real. It is not an existential threat to bringing down the country. But it does have the capacity still to kill thousands of people.
But hundreds of thousands of people die and their lives are shortened because of coal plants, coal-fired plants, and because of corn syrup.

Joe Biden has also recently said it’s Americans’ “patriotic duty” to pay more taxes, and he’s a repeatedly-exposed plagiarist and pathological liar.
Corn syrup contributes to NOTHING. There is NO EVIDENCE which shows corn syrup is any more a contributing factor to obesity (or anything else) than, say, organically-grown, hand-processed, munchy-gooble-boobles, nimmy-nummers, paper-wrapped (cuz pwaftic is ICKY-GIBBLES) tofu eaten in excess quantitiy and accompanied by no exercise… But the Food Stasi really don’t like the concept of personal responsibility anyway, so hey…

Sounds deeply weird, but the guy’s right.
Obesity related disease> lung disease> getting blown up
And then there’s the risk to the world of sticky keys…
