But yet, HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup) is not only encouraged but subsidized ! HFCS is much worse for you than regular sugar !
So, how is HFCS subsidized?
I get tired of people talking about food “is bad for you”.
Sugar is not “bad”.
There is NO SUCH THING AS “JUNK” FOOD.
This kind of talk is just accepting their premise - the problem, people don’t want to exercise, and they want eat a JUNK DIET.
For this, “liberals” want a shakedown on everyone else.
Actually, the government has programs that meddle in the free market pricing of sugar. One of the reasons that HFCS is used so much in American food production is the combination of the subsidies to the corn producers (i.e. ADM), they government also keeps the US prices of sugar artificially high. The reason Mexican Coca Cola (and for that matter, pretty much everywhere else) uses cane sugar is because it's actually quite a bit cheaper than HFCS everywhere else in the world.
