    "Streamline and improve" is redundant. Pasteurization is great. "jacking it with corn syrup" is nonsense.

    I'll get my writing tips somewhere else.

      The corn-syrup comment made sense to me FWIW. I associated corn syrup with mass-produced food that's optimized to make all your taste receptors go "bling" when it first hits your tongue, but lacks any real substance. Which also describes the text that comes out of an LLM.
