    Is our corn subsidy written in blood?

    Has it spilled any blood by existing?

    High fructose corn syrup’s pretty damn bad for people, and it’s everywhere because of government subsidies.

    I guess the big question is: can government code cause death too? Or only prevent it? Are we always safer with more laws on the books?

      Would it blow your mind to find out it’s nuanced and good judgement and data should be used to determine when we should or should not implement new laws or repeal old ones? Or do you prefer binary choices that force a loss on one side or another?
