Restrictions on sugar imports are not a subsidy to corn?

Not exactly.

Subsidy is a transfer of money from the government to an entity. It leads to a fall in the price of the subsidised product.

Toomey nearly ended his career in PA by joining Joe Manchin in an attempted gun grab. Only the fact that the Democrats ran a shrill Feminist Hillary clone saved him this time.

“I detest HFCS”

My doc is convinced that it caused my Type ll. I used to drink a lot of Dole type juices. They;re loaded with it. I figured juice was mostly water, so I drank a lot of it!

Well they feed corn to livestock to fatten them up so it all makes sense.

sugar and similar sweeteners are a large part of the problem in so many diseases and health issues.
It would help me stay off sugar if the price went up more for things containing it.

I avoid HFCorn syrup and Agave syrup and the like already since they are addictive and sickening to the body worse than even regular sugar is.

Why are people wanting better health care, yet wanting sugar and such health harming things to be cheap?
