Have they factored in the impact of the ethanol boondoggle? Doesn’t ethanol come at the expense of high fructose corn syrup? Might we se a return to sugar as the sweetener of choice?
Yes, corn used for ethanol cannot be turned into HFCS.
Might we se a return to sugar as the sweetener of choice?
Only if we remove import restrictions.
From what I’ve been told, the beet growers/refiners are happy to stick with making sugar. They make more money (subsidies) than corn growers ever thought of.
