Here is an article on corn subsidies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_fructose_corn_syrup
In the US, sugar tariffs and quotas keep imported sugar at up to twice the global price since 1797,[25][26] while subsidies to corn growers cheapen the primary ingredient in HFCS, corn. Industrial users looking for cheaper replacements rapidly adopted HFCS in the 1970s.[27][28]HFCS is easier to handle than granulated sucrose, although some sucrose is transported as solution. Unlike sucrose, HFCS cannot be hydrolyzed, but the free fructose in HFCS may produce Hydroxymethylfurfural when stored at high temperatures; these differences are most prominent in acidic beverages.[29] Soft drink makers such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi use sugar in other nations, but switched to HFCS in the U.S. in 1984.[30] Large corporations, such as Archer Daniels Midland, lobby for the continuation of government corn subsidies.[31]
I had not been aware of the sugar tariffs either. In the grand scheme of things this is not all that important, but it is consistently stunning to me that the Left is not better able to pick targets which are actually guilty of colluding with the government, and forming a genuine common cause with conservatives. Most of that problem is that they do not grant us the status of being human. They project their own failings onto us, and everyone else unlike them who happens to wander into one of their caves.
