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.

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.
