Eliminate the subsidizing of corn which has no nutritional value and leads to fruits and vegetables being more expensive

Created by M.M. on August 17, 2013

Due to the subsidization of corn by the U.S it has become more expensive for farmers to grow other foods such as fruits and vegetables the subsidazation has also made corn a vastly overused used ingredient in everything from gummi vitamins to some baby formula, but corn has no nutritional value surrendering only filling calories. Our stomachs as well as the livestock that corn is feed to are not capable of the proper digestion of the outside skin of the corn's kernels which has lead to these livestock getting very sick but instead of changing the diet of the livestock they are pumped with more antibiotics and hormones that we later ingest. It is clear that the governments irresponsible decision to subsidize corn has negatively effected us on many fronts. I strongly urge you to sign today.
