Not many people were aware that over 40 million people were on it or that soft drinks was the number one item purchased.[/quote]

Soft drinks are primarily high-fructose corn syrup and water.

Corn was the most-subsidized crop in 2024; corn farms received $3.2 billion, or 30.5% of all federal farm subsidies. Corn makes up 95% of all US-produced feed grains (a category that also includes oats, barley, and sorghum). It’s used for livestock feed, ethanol production, and food in products like sweeteners, corn oil, beverages, starch, and alcohol. [/quote]
