Plenty of sugar cane is grown in the states, why are you getting your sugar from corn.

    I thought the corn subsidy is where all the ethanol was coming from. the way the subsidy works, they pay you by weight, and the corn that is the most dense is completely inedible and useful only for turning into alcohol. that’s my anecdotal understanding

      Interesting. I didn’t know about that. My basic understanding is just that the corn industry is not struggling and yet it’s being subsidized while [insert millions of more important issues here] goes underfunded or ignored
