What's the protectionist position on this issue?
Open the market to "good sugar" imports, or protect domestic "bad HFCS"?
The issue is more complicated than protectionism. Sugar is protected to prevent funding communist Cuba.
Retricting trade with communist regimes was a strategy that worked well in defeating the Soviet Union. But was completely abandoned when it came to China.
And I understand but could be wrong that domestic HFCS gets more subsidies than does domestic sugar.

Actually....it’s your fellow Free Trade Liberals that put in the restrictions on imported sugar in NAFTA. It’s also your fellow Free Trade Liberals in the environmental movement who put enviro restrictions on Florida grown sugar....which jacked up the price.
