Farming corps make more $$ from useless subsidized maize than they would from actually useful crops?

Re: Corn
The world production of corn?
My guess,
It's chicken-feed. For about fifty billion chickens. Gallus gallus domesticus. Conservation status : Not really endangered.

While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

High fructose corn syrup - the principal sweetener used in processed foods and beverages (at least in the US).
Although it may look like a forum, this site is actually a crowd-sourced science project modelling the slow but inexorable heat death of the universe.

Re: Corn
Yep. Though sucrose, from sugar beet or sugar cane, is far cheaper to produce, massive government import tariffs on sucrose keep HFCS artificially competitively priced and stop US food manufacturers importing sucrose.Faithfree wrote:High fructose corn syrup - the principal sweetener used in processed foods and beverages (at least in the US).
That's America doing that. The land that sets itself up as a beacon of free-market forces. Looks like protectionism to me, but what do I know?

My country is currently in negotiation with the USA to try to establish a free trade deal. Guess what the sticking point is?
Yep, it is American protectionism of its industries. The American negotiators want NZ to stop buying generic drugs, for example, and pay ten times as much for American made drugs. NZ does not subsidise anything. Zip, zero, de nada. America has masses of payouts from the poor taxpayer to wealthy businesses, and then claims it does not have enough money to pay for decent healthcare for its poor.

I would expect that to be the case. Most of the Americans on this forum are essentially honest people.
