A Few Words From Your Sponsor
Hi! I'm David. And I'm incredible. A while back, during a compliment-gone-hilarious someone once told me that I was THE Incredible D-A-V. My guess is that Dave was the intended destination for that little name-game, but as I never liked the name Dave, Dav stuck.
I'll write about all sorts of stuff in this blog, probably only 1/3 of it will be of any interest at any given time. Keep coming back...we'll see what we can find out about each other.

Wow. It’s the first blatantly propagandistic commercial I’ve ever seen. And for, of all things, high fructose corn syrup. Makes me want to go drink a big tub of it right now.
Hmmm…let’s see what Wikipedia says about this…
My favorite part: “A study in mice suggests that fructose increases obesity.Large quantities of fructose stimulate the liver to produce triglycerides…and induces insulin resistance. According to one study, the average American consumes nearly 70 pounds of HFCS per annum, marking HFCS as a major contributor to the rising rates of obesity in the last generation.”
Let’s forget the potential adverse health consequences of using something that is sweet but it chemically different than sugar and focus on the real problem. HFCS doesn’t taste as good as sugar. If you’ve had a Coke from a foreign country (where HFCS isn’t popular), you’ll know what I mean. If you haven’t, then you should.
The moral of this story? Promote natural ingredients! Know what you’re eating!

Hi Dav,
Some of your “incredible thoughts” are pretty inspiring. I have small children and I’m always amazed at the horrible ingredients our govm’t allows in our foods, especially ones children are likely to eat. I’m in the process of finding out more myself, and found your post inspiring. Thanks!
