  sweet farm bill

  First, the author's comment that much of the corn we grow is used to make HFCS. That didn't sound right, so I checked. Less than 5% of our corn is used to make sweeteners!!! And this guy has been studying it for how many years? I learned that most corn is fed to livestock. I live in Kansas so know a bit about farming. How come no one ever considers the positive impact farming operations have on local economies? Do you big city people think there are huge Cargill factory farms around here? Nope. Spend a day in my neighborhood and you'll see they're just folks trying to make a living like the rest of us. And these people who say the farm bill makes us fat--whoo boy. I am a bit overweight, but I only have myself to blame. Too much organic yogurt, I think!On The U.S. needs a food bill more than a farm bill posted 3 years, 8 months ago 14 Responses
