There is absolutely nothing wrong with HFCS when compared to any other sugar we eat (added sweeteners, that is).
The problem is that growing corn for HFCS is inefficient and damaging to the environment as well as to farmers, whose livelihoods would be much better if they could plant more appropriate crops on their land and sell it at a fair price.
I will not support this bill, nor should any of you.
BRTD was correct in that we should target subsidies and ag policy that discourages or at least neither encourages nor discourages usage of HFCS in food products.
