<em>but when the market is buying it at a profitable level, why wouldn't we grow it?</em>
Because much of corn is turned into HFCS, which is so cheap it's added to everything, which is causing a huge spectrum of preventable diseases, such as metabolic dysfunction, which in turn is partly the cause of bankrupting national healthcare programs?

- zdkl 9y agoSo I get a remark for logical fallacies, but the parent's statement is sound to you? Sheesh... All I'm saying is if he had the convictions he professed, we wouldn't be on this tangent. But since "Not as bad as" isn't a valid argument, by all means, let's keep remarking on trivialities.
- nerdponx 9y agoI'm about ad "anti-big-corn" as it gets, but this HFCS propaganda has got to end. It's literally just sugar. Too much sugar makes you sick. The fact that HFCS is liquid and cheap means you can put it in more food, but at the end of the day it just comes down to the fact that "too much sugar is bad."
