Corn/Sugarcane industries aside, I don't understand why people consider this a win.
Corn or sugarcane, a can of coke is still going to contain wayyyyy too much sugar for there to be any difference in terms of health.
from a health standpont....imo it doesnt matter
it is a win for the environment, its a win for pricing of all other foods because corn is one of the main feed stocks for cattle and if they get it out of fuel...its a huge win for everyone as ethanol fuel is overall terrible on vehicles

Okay, let's say that's true.
Wasn't the whole thing about RFK and getting things like HFCS and dyes out of food supposed to be in the name of health? Wasn't it make America healthy again?

We don’t need daddy government to ban cokes, we just need everyone to be honest about what they do to your health.
We’ve pretty well done that with cigarettes. Yes, there is a sin tax on them, but the marketing demonization had a WAY bigger effect on curbing smoking

Farm sugar cane or sugar beets you idiots. Adapt to changing markets like real businesses do or die.
I think they get higher yields with corn where they grow it.

I don’t think you’re going to have much sugarcane growing up in Iowa
Nor rice. However, if we eliminate all farm subsidies, including the ethanol BS there may be a massive correction in land prices.
Maybe an acre in Iowa will drop below $10k.

Anybody ever think about how different several federal laws and policies might be if Iowa wasn't one of the first states to hold a primary election?
(Yes, I know it's a caucus.)

Healthier food is great and all, but I think a side effect will be Bill Gates and the Chinese buying up even more farmland for solar and wind energy.

Is sugarcane grown north of Louisiana? I guess they could do the sugar beets
Sugar beets were once produced in the Texas panhandle and I know of a large processing facility that has been dormant for years. They are quite water intensive so that is a problem for areas that rely heavily on irrigation. Last time I looked, more sugar is produced from sugar beets than sugarcane in the US.

We're currently burning fricktons of corn for fuel and exporting fricktons overseas. Corn farmers aren't hurting for markets for their product and I say this as someone whose family is firmly rooted in corn farming.

Right.
Sugarcane fellas must have a weak lobby.

Get rid of hfcs and daylight saving
Neither are necessary and both are because of farmers

They are the ones that begged for the price floor to be put in, which created the demand for HFCS in the first place.

Most of the corn farmed in the US is based off an artificially propped up market decades in the making
I don't hate farmers but the entire US food economy is unreasonably based on corn and it's making everyone fatter and unhealthier. Plus the gas.

You can't just farm sugar cane anywhere. But all in all we don't need to use high fructose corn syrup anyway.

Corn is not even efficient at making biofuels. Switchgrass for example makes way more biofuel per acre and takes a lot less inputs to grow. Corn is a heavy feeder and strips the ground of nutrients.
