All this HFCS stuff would go away if only we stopped subsidizing the corn farmers so damned much inthe farm bill...

We also subsidize the big agribusinesses that refine it as well.. so stop that too.

What we need to do is discontinue supporting the high price for domestic sugar. the only reason the drink mfrs use HFCS is because it’s cheaper to do so. If we paid the world price for sugar they would go back it using it............

That, and the other half of the coin, if we stopped artificially propping up the price of cane sugar well above what the market would normally charge.
