Sweet Scam Group Hits Back At New York Health Initiatives (VIDEO)

In light of all of Mayor Bloomberg's recent health initiatives, the non-profit Center for Consumer Freedom is asking, "When did the Big Apple become Big Brother?"

amNY reports that the group is pouring $1 million into ads that knock "the city for its PR blitz against sweetened drinks and its ban on trans-fats."

The ads began appearing in newspapers on Friday, and commercials like the one below will begin appearing on local cable next week.

This is one issue I actually agree with Bloomberg on, unhealthy sweeteners in our foods. Any nutritionist and knowledgeable person will tell you that different sweeteners affect the body differently. High fructose corn syrup is by far the worst of the bunch, and is an integral part of why so many people have developed diabetes and obesity in the last 10-15 years. Look for natural sweeteners in your drinks and foods. This has the HFCS lobby written al over it.
