It's not just HFCS, but the North-American diet in general is all about stuffing processed sugars, flours, and oils into our foods. I'm pretty pragmatic with my own diet, and a calorie is a calorie. There are studies that show that HFCS can actually increase appetite, as oppossed to satiate it.

It'd even be possible to prepare unhealthy foods like burgers in much healthier ways without all the processed sugars we find in most breads today.
