Comment on Withdrawal is going to make people go mad
MrVilliam@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoThat can’t be right. Corn can’t be only 85% of our food.
But seriously, there’s so much goddamn corn. Our meat is fed corn. Our processed foods and drinks are pumped full of corn. Even our fucking cars eat corn. We’re up to our fucking ears in ears of corn.

The government subsidizes corn, so there’s an incentive to use that corn. There are tariffs on imported sugar so it’s cheaper to use HFCS

Based on what I find online, the us import about $2B in raw-sugar, while some (about 100M) is exported again.

How much “processed” sugar leaves the us again? I am not sure. Maybe all of it.

We already use HFCS in everything, it will just get even more extreme.
Gonna have to put a spoonful of HFCS into your ersatz coffee.
