Agreed. Have you read The Omnivore’s Dilemma? We’re literally awash in corn syrup in this country, not in a good way, and the pressure to find more and more uses and outlets for it is huge.

Great book, that one. Industrial-scale corn production creates a whole host of problems, from water-tables being lowered and polluted, to soil being depleted, to huge surpluses that must find some use somewhere.
