From David Zetland at Aguanomics:
People are discussing a soda tax. Forget that -- just stop subsidizing the corn that's made into the HFCS that goes into soda.
End obesity and a stupid ag subsidy at that same time.Next!
Like myself, David is employed in an Agricultural (and a bunch of other adjectives) Economics department at a state subsidized school. While it doesn't stop me, it always gives me pause when I criticize bad government subsidy programs.
