So stopping subsidies for corn will impact other crops too? Isn’t nutrition diverse nowadays?
Edit: Answered. Corn is used as a cattle feed and hence beef prices will be impacted. It will have a chain reaction pulling down just corn subsidies.
Tangent: India used to have famines and import grains until Punjab ushered a green revolution with record wheat and rice harvests in 1960s. My grandma told me how before wheat barley used to be the nutritional source, and I for nostalgia sake asked for a barley dish. Nearly threw up.

- Marsymars 7y agoHuh. I like barley quite a lot. Doesn't seem like it really has enough flavour to be offensive enough to induce vomiting though.
- wott 7y agoPerhaps it is not the taste but the shape/size and consistency of the boiled grain. For those who don't know, it looks like Kellogg's Smacks, but more chewy, and it can feel a bit strange to chew or to swallow. I like it as well, nevertheless.
