Matt sez, “Maya Weinstein is an artist who just finished her MFA at Parsons, with the awesomest thesis ever: a DIY kit for making your own High-Fructose Corn Syrup, the industrial sweetener that is, well, let’s say problematic these days.
“Amazingly, HFCS is not available for consumers to buy, and as Weinstein discovered, making it yourself requires some pretty unusual (and expensive) components, like Glucose Isomerase. But it’s a totally fascinating process, and only the first in what Weinstein hopes will be a series of ‘citizen food science’ kits.”
