does this mean no more import controls and price supports too?
Yeah, that was my first thought, too. Isn't the government subsidizing the sugar industry? If this is really an area of public health concern, why not close the loop and just stop the subsidies?
Unless it's not about public health at all, but rather just a way to exercise control over people and to extract more revenue from the lower and middle classes who would be most affected by this. But that would be crazy talk, right?
