Let them eat wheat
"From the corn syrup in your soda pop to the corn starch that makes your paper more printable – corn is all around you!"
- Iowa Corn Promotion Board, www.iowacorn.org 2008
So, not long after moving down here, I had a wee bit of a rant about how damn much high-fructose corn syrup they put in everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING, in this country. Other people use sugar, the Americans use corn.
However, instead of examining their dependence on corn as a sweetener and provider of starch, the powers that be are trying to convince us that it is the use of corn as a source of ethanol that is causing food riots around the world.
Corn is all around us.... but very few of us are using it as a renewable energy source. Stop trying to shift our focus, Big Oil. Ethanol fuel is not the problem here.
