Amazing how the rest of the world does this now and it only the US Economy that will magically collapse if we follow suit.

Does what? Americans enjoy the cheapest food on the planet. We have diseases of abundance. Because our food is cheap, people get fat.

In the rest of the world overuse of corn oil and corn syrup is mainly controlled by cultural factors. The bully pulpit is the most powerful tool I think.

And its no joke about the relative ill health of Americans.

Like the Coca Cola with cane sugar that they sell in Mexico but not here. Most of these foods can be made.

There would be a messy transition, but things would stabilize. ADM has a lot of juice, so we will see whether RFK Jr can get this done.

It won’t collapse. I have no idea where he’s getting that from.

Agree. I'm getting tired of hearing "the economy will collapse" if we stop allowing poison in our food or we kick out all the illegal aliens. Most of the rest of the world manages to keep ultra processed garbage out of the food supply without their economy collapsing. They also manage to pick their own lettuce and still afford it. I don't care if lettuce costs a few bucks more a head if we stop looking the other way over the 50 million illegals in our country. Pay the extra $2 a head, the money we save from cheap labor costs us 100X more when we pay for the crime, welfare, and anchor babies that go along with that cheap lettuce.

My local paper says the economy will collapse if we deport the illegals. We won’t be able to feed ourselves or build anything.
