I have been checking up on milk and nutrasweet, and both of them lead back to Monsanto. Oil companies seem to be the root of the Conspiracy. While I am going to sound like a complete nutter for saying this, The "Book of the Subgenious" has a small humorious section where they really do give information on the Conpiracy. Look for the words "YOUR REFRIGERATOR RAPED BY IMITATION FOODS" and read on from there. The Conspiracy wants us to eat "healthy" rancid polyunstaturated fats, puts grains on the bottom of the food pyramid, says that meat is a deadly toxin and doesn't want us to smoke. (I think the Conspiricy is using tobacco smoke as a "smokescreen" for asbestos and butane, among other -industrial- carginogens). This would be totally off-topic if it wasn't for the fact that the Conspiracy is what is keeping low-carb (e.i. effective) diets, and especially NeanderThin, in the world of "quackery." Anyone who has used a high-fat diet to loose wieght while controlling hunger, and who has also used a low-fat diet to nearly starve themselves to death while pining for the flavor of meat, knows which one is quackery and which one isn't.
