Sugar is also one-fourth the cost in Mexico and Canada as it is in the US.

That is a good point. Another success for sugar tariffs.

"Sugar is also one-fourth the cost in Mexico and Canada as it is in the US."

Tariffs, like the Bakers union, killed our sugar cane industry. Now, everything is sweetened with high fructose corn syrup. Great, we develop diabetes and become fatter than Monsanto's corn margins.

I can't eat the stuff due to an allergy. I lost 40 lbs when I cut it out of my diet (no small feat since it's in everything).
