16. Maybe we could also stop subsidizing export of HFCS *LACED* products too!
Edited on Sun Jun-01-08 02:25 AM by calipendence
Since we are subsidizing corn-based (and likely diabetes causing) pseudo-sugar sweetened products such as soft drinks around the world, that probably also inflates the price of corn by taking more corn out of the global crop as well. And we the taxpayer wind up subsidizing that artificial lower price and the WTO is subservient to our companies' wishes when companies like Mexico try to fight this with tariffs placed on HEALTHIER products!

I'd take cane sugar sweetened cola ANY DAY over HFCS crap!
