The ABC television show "Suburgatory" is accused of airing industry propaganda after a character delivered a line equating high fructose corn syrup with regular sugar. The hosts analyze the FDA's language regarding "honesty and fair dealing" in food labeling, suggesting it mirrors Orwellian "newspeak" to benefit the corn sugar industry.
