The problem is that corn syrup is so cheap because of the subsidy that it's added to everything which contributes to the obesity epidemic. Also, it's used to force animals like cattle to eat it, which isn't their natural food, so it causes them all kinds of digestive distress. Then the marketing successfully sold the idea that there's something special about corn fed beef. All because corn was cheaper than their natural food. Why doesn't the government actually subsidize healthy vegetables?
