Er. Do you have some kind of information you can share? Any details at all? As far as I know, some farm subsidies are awful and went on way, way too long. Keep in mind that I live in a rural, farming county in a farming state. I know people who made tons of money to NOT plant certain crops while still making money planting others. Look at the corn situation, where corn syrup was literally as cheap as water.

You're really going to need to give us more details if you want people to form any kind of opinion.

Couldn't agree more.   If they do get rid of the farm subsidies maybe soda can go back to superior pure sugar.'

If somehow congress ignored the huge corporate farm lobby and corn lobby and let these uneeded subsidies expire it would be great.



They tried using pure sugar again about a year ago. Tastes horrible in soda. There is a reason These unhealthy foods and beverages taste so good and are so addicting. Pure filth is put in them, bordering in poison.

They had a limted run of cans of Dr Pepper in 2010 to commemoate the brands 125th aniversary using sugar as its sweetner and it didn't taste nowhere as good as the regular version sweetened with high fructose corn syrup.  I did prefer the taste of Pepsi and Mountain Dew throwback (made with sugar) over the regular versions.  I also thing soda in Germany on average tastes better then soda in the US and they use inferior sugar that is made from sugar beets compared to the sugar made from sugar cane that is widely available in the US.
