I’m not really in favor of making exceptions to the types of food that poor people are or aren’t allowed to buy. Removing corn subsidies would do a lot to change the pricing dynamics of food in the US. Sugary and heavily processed foods would increase in price due to the rising price of HFCS, meats would increase in price due to the rising price of feed for livestock. It may also make other, healthier crops more attractive to farmers to grow which would help decrease the cost of healthier options. It’s not the only thing that is making America very fat, but it is certainly a large component to it and there’s basically no reason for the subsidy to exist.
