Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Like 52% of the developed first world can be considered morbidly obese.
I highly doubt it's a willpower or self-control problem, that's just blaming the victim.
The real issue is there's fucking sugar in everything.
Read the nutrition facts labels one day and try to keep yourself under 100g of net carbohydrates as a mental experiment while grocery shopping (net meaning carbs - fiber = net).
You'll quickly notice that the vast majority of things have added sugar via HFCS, even innocuous things like bread or even ketchup.
It's tough out there.
I was shocked to find HFCS (and a bunch of other sh*t) in SOY SAUCE in the USA! WTF?
Sorry, but if you look at real soy sauce in Asia, it has like 4 ingredients - water, soy, maybe some alcohol (from the fermentation?), and 1 or 2 that I forget. USA soy sauce (that I looked at) has like 10 ingredients.
Looking at labels (on Amazon) now, Kikkoman seems to use the traditional recipe - no HFCS. But, La Choy soy sauce does have HFCS in it.
