This doesn't make sense. Corn is used much more heavily as feed stock for animals than as a sweetener or dietary carb for humans. Corn growers thus have more invested in encouraging high-fat diets than low-fat diets.
About 4.2 billion bushels of U.S. corn per year are used to feed livestock (dairy, beef, hogs, poultry). About 1.4 billion bushels go toward uses including sweeteners like HFCS, as well as toward cereals (and booze).
