Cane sugar coke is a million time better

Jesus, trump really does hate farmers

Release the secret recipe

>>21472476
So you're saying you believe that sugar comes from mines or something?

>>21472476
The vast majority of corn produced in USA is for animal feed and ethanol. This change won't even affect a single percent of their profits.

>>21472498
Also I just read some updates and Coca Cola said they're not really committed to this change. So wtf?

>>21472491
You can only grow sugar cane in two US states and it's not economically viable to do it on a scale that could actually meet US domestic cane sugar demand.

>>21472507
>>21472491
Oh and for reference, corn can be grown (economically) in about 40 US states.

>>21472456 (OP)
I don't believe for one second that HFCS is any worse for you or worse tasting than cane sugar. I think it's all hype.

The original point of educating people about HFCS was so people understood that it is identical to white sugar, not that it was some extra evil toxic chemical. People used to not know what it was reading an ingredient list, and mistakenly get the impression that a product was healthier than it actually was.

>shitty sugarwater manufacturer changes its formula from one kind of sugar to a different kind of sugar
Truly the west has fallen.

>>21472498
> Approximately 6% of the US corn crop is used to produce high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). This translates to roughly 361 million bushels of corn annually.

And the primary source for the US beverage industry's HFCS is domestically grown corn.

>>21472507
You can grow it in a lot more states than that. It's just mostly grown in only two states *now*.

>>21472526
Again, it's not economically viable to grow it in any other states, just like how corn CAN be grown in all 50 states but it's primarily grown in ~40 US states.

Economic viability is what matters here.

>>21472531
Economics change all the time, such as when a major soft drink manufacturer switches from cane sugar to corn syrup. Or when a major soft drink manufacturer switches from corn syrup to cane sugar.

>>21472541
You're delusional, it would take 2-3 years just to establish farms in the first place, and another few years to dial in production, all that time you'll be importing sugar at great expense, especially with tariffs.

Fuckin retard bootlicking faggot.

>>21472531
>Again, it's not economically viable to grow it in any other states,
because there's not as much demand, because corn syrup is subsidized
retard

It's as identical as hydrogen peroxide is identical to water.

While I prefer cane sugar soda over corn syrup, I'd still rather have diet than either most days, and this will likely make diet soda more expensive as well.

>>21472526
this

>nooo, not my goyswill!
They should replace the HFCS with arsenic so fatties like you disappear

Finally we will catch up to Mexico.

Oh no! Donald Trump lied! Who would have ever thought? Jesus fucking christ

>>21472511
Jeez you niggers are retarded, Florida can provide enough sugar cane for the planet fucking faggot

>>21472507
Sugar beets can be grown in a lot more states compared to Sugar cane

And when is McDonald's going back to beef tallow fries? 2 more weeks?

ITT: Anerimutts getting excited over sugar.
Can’t make this shit up.

>>21472456 (OP)
What will happen if pepsico and all the other HFCS sodas switch to cane sugar? Will the market for corn syrup collapse and cause regular sugars to get insanely expensive?

>>21472512
There's a lot of actual research on the subject and you have read none of it.

>>21473547
Who knows.... on the one hand you have the insane historical dominance of Big Corn, being used in everything from baby food and cattle feed to biofuels, receiving billions in Federal subsidies in addition to raw profit.... but now you have agricorps diversified with Big Soy, corn potential possibly tapped out, and the possibility that switching a single market segment to sugar could help slop producers charge a premium, while also fattening government coffers from the import tariffs. I'll definitely be discussing this with other expert economists on the Alex Jones and Roblox forums.

>things /ck/ is to afraid to answer
Well? How many?

>>21473540
This. If you use white refinied sugar you won't notice the difference between sugar cane or beet at all.
