“Cheap food is the goal of all governments,” says food author Michael Pollan. The U.S. subsidizes corn, which can be turned into high fructose corn syrup. Pollan says, the concern is if the subsidy were removed, the price of corn would rise, and “that would be a problem for the whole food industry, which, of course, is a very powerful lobby, and would be a problem for the consumer, conceivably.” #michaelpollan #food #health #corn #nutrition
