New Book, "The Farm Program", Details how US
Food Became Fructose-ridden
During the 1970s, high fructose corn syrup emerged as a cost-
effective alternative to sugar, finding its way into various processed
foods.
These findings reflect the broader concern about
the impact of increased fructose intake on public
health.
The relationship between Big Agriculture and the
USDA has shaped agricultural policies and
influenced food production.
Government reports like those from the
USDA outline the subsidies and
regulations that have favored corn
production, indirectly contributing to the
prevalence of HFCS in the American diet.
Understanding these policies is crucial
to comprehend the factors that have
influenced the availability and
affordability of high fructose corn
syrup.
"The Farm Program" provides an in-depth analysis of these
interconnected factors, relying on verifiable data and research
studies.
The story is told through the eyes of a University of Illinois
professor and his wife. Together, they worked for over 30
years to improve the quality of corn grown and exported
from the Midwest. Their work was sidetracked dozens of
times by American corporations wanting cheap prices for
commodities.
By examining the synergy between agricultural
policies, food industry practices, and nutritional
trends, the book offers readers a comprehensive
understanding of the fructose-laden reality of
American food.
Through education and collective action, we can foster a food
environment that prioritizes health and well-being.
