Corn, Sugar, and Environmental Impact

This chapter explores the complexities of corn production and its government subsidies in the U.S., focusing on its primary uses for animal feed and ethanol rather than human consumption. It delves into the environmental consequences of beef production and the ongoing debate over high fructose corn syrup versus cane sugar, highlighting public perceptions and policy motivations. Through discussions and listener questions, the chapter emphasizes the need to reconsider sugar consumption and advocates for a reduction across the board.
