Too bad the government subsidized products that aren't the best for human consumption (dairy, corn/high fructose corn syrup, etc). If anything they should have only subsidized fruit and veggies (almost everything but corn because corn is pretty much shit).

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.

Oh this isn't farm subsidies ending anyway, what the one guy above said is right, I looked it up, and basically what happened is right after WW2 a law passed setting the price of milk.

Essentially Milk isn't sold like a regular product, it's essentially sold "Communist" style.   The government buys the milk from the producers then sells it to the market... pricefixing what milk can be sold for.

The Farm bills have temporary measures in them that make the price they pay cheaper then what the 1949 law says we should pay, which had inflation adjustments in it.

So really the government would just be way overpaying farmers for milk, then way overcharging supermarkets, who would be forced to pay because well... all milk is sold through the state.

Essentially it's a case of

A) The government being too stupid to repeal laws and instead layer dumb laws on top of other dumb laws.

B) More or less a perfect arguement for why the free market system works way better then state run goverment price controls.

Explain how you feel competition will affect this?

As a fan, i think you might want to look at my new thread. LOL http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=152101

Alright all kidding aside, have good New Years. Got some house tracks for your 12 am drunk dance, if you drink. LOL

since milk is produced of creatures to feed their offspring and for nothing else you just have to stop drinking it when you are a grown-up

I'm against any kind of subsidies from government to private business. In my opinion it goes against the principles of free market.

If farming products become to expensive, just import them from other countries. Then if US farmers want to stay in business, they will find a way to lower prices.

Well, when price controls are there to set a fair rate and not just give a huge handout to the farm lobby while screwing everyone else over. The idea of price controls is to stop things from getting too expensive, not to keep things very expensive

Yep there are better ways to get calcium than through milk.  I've also heard that milk leaches calcium from your bones.  I'm not sure if it is true but if the main purpose of drinking milk is for offspring then drinking another creature's milk while your an adult doesn't make too much sense.

Methionine is a good source for sulfur. That's the problem. Eat foods containing too much methionine, and your blood will become acidic. The sulfur converts to sulfates and weak forms of sulfuric acid. In order to neutralize the acid, in its wisdom, the body leaches calcium from bones.

"Dietary protein increases production of acid in the blood which can be neutralized by calcium mobilized from the skeleton." {American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1995; 61,4}
