Hey! There's only 57 calories in a tablespoon of mayo. If people are responsible and only use one or two tablespoons (to dip their fries, for example) then it is totally fine!

People need to learn to eat slower and really savour the food. Small portions of more intensely flavoured food is way better than huge, bulky meals of starch and meat and sugar. Whole grains too! I used to eat a half pound of regular pasta topped with several cups of cheap meat sauce. Now I eat 1/5 of a pound of whole grain multigrain pasta mixed with 3/4 cup of high quality marinara sauce (no meat) alongside a nice big salad (with minimal dressing). It tastes way better and is much healthier.

This thread is full of people saying that HFCS is the cause of obesity, and merely avoiding fructose will cure obesity.

We agree that fructose is not the only problem, and that people eat crap, regardless of hfcs.

Yeah, but we have just now allowed to be fed even more poisonous stuff. It's neither positive nor irrelevant. It's a problem.

What's wrong with mayo? It's just eggs, oil, vinegar and a few spices. Seems pretty straightforward and far from an "abomination".

I mean don't eat it as a main course but throwing some into your chicken salad should be perfectly fine (and delicious...).

As usual, it's important to take pop-nutrition blurbs like this one with a grain of salt. Here's a counterpoint:
