    Bonus points for this exercise: How many jobs in these "empty" states, or others, depend on the corn market?

    Being the empowered, take no prisoners, intellectual that you are, I trust you will come up with another, better, strawman. Yes, I believe in you that much. Now go forth - and don't forget to bill your time.
    I was out at a firm happy hour last Friday. You know what I saw? An entire pub filled with city dwellers in the bluest city in a blue state drinking Bud Light, Coors Light, and Miller Lite. Sure, there were a few "connoisseurs" drinking IPAs or craft beers and micorbrews, but for the most part, these suburban folks were concerned with ingesting as much beer as possible while trying to minimize their calories and financial outlay. Here's what they were not concerned with: the well-being of Big Corn, farmers, or anyone employed through a derivative of those industries. But of the 20 people at my table, 3 of them drive hybrid cars, two drive electric cars, and probably about 70% of them have solar panels on their houses. So while I'm sure farmers and country-folk love to drink cheap beer, I think Budweiser probably understands that if gaining market share in a city means losing market share in BFE, that's ultimately an improvement on the bottom line.

    There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

      I will say, it is funny that a beer company would consider the health effects of corn syrup. The main problem with corn syrup is that it causes fatty liver disease. Guess what else causes fatty liver disease? Alcohol. Fatty liver disease = insulin resistance = obesity.

      It isn't a "health issue" with this stupid fight. They are trying to pretend that their beer is brewed with better ingredients, not that it is more healthy. Rice and corn syrup are both adjuncts and both make shitty beer.

      Beer isn't and never will be health food. Of course, I'll knock a few years off my life expectancy to live a life with beer in it.

          I thought the corn syrup commercial was funny.

            Exactly what are we arguing about? I didn't say he was at Bruschi level. I said he's on his way, with 3 years on the team.

                I didn't know corn syrup was used in beer

                The commercial was funny. I'm not a business guy, but I saw a smart ad trying to expand their market with the craft beer-type people. Which is funny, because last year their strategy was to make fun of them.

                  That was strange. The other couple we were with didn't even know who Andy Warhol was. Not very effective advertising.

                    Agreed, Andy is more of a Campbell’s soup kind of guy.

                            It would have to be a pretty stupid craft beer-type person for that strategy to work considering the Bud Light label indicates it is brewed with rice.

                            You don't have to follow German purity laws to make good beer, but certainly there is no excuse for rice being in it. If you are going to make a pale lager: water, yeast, barley, and hops.

                                I wonder how many people actually watched that movie?
