Facts about corns:

In the article, The consumer, of republic of fat. Richie, Chevat, and Michael Pollan. Are arguing the effect of corn in our diet is negative.
Why do we have so much corn? First “in 1970s this was, of course, the same decade that American embraced a cheap food farm policy”. This cause the over production of corn is being encouraged.
In what way do corns help the country? Corn’s help the country because it is cheat corn can make a lot of thing and it helps the farmer. And also use corns as a good source for many nutrients many people eat corns because most American can afford it, even though corn can make a lot of thing but since 1980s people have been consumed more high-fructose corn syrup for the first time in history. Almost everything we eat have corn for example soda are made of corn, burger made of corn, there are hundreds of things we can do with corn. They can use corn to make everything from chicken nuggets and big Macs to emulsifiers and nutraceuticals.
Where do you think those corn go? “Corn account for most of the surplus calorie we are growing and most of the surplus calorie we are eating It goes to all of food and drink, that’s why we have so many cheat thing for example burger, soda, chicken nuggets big Macs ,etc because all of them has sugar in fact. Since 1985 our consumption of all added sugar cane, beet, HFCS, glucose, honey maple syrup, whatever has climbed from 128 pounds to 158 pounds per person.
How does it affect us? The corn affects our weigh make us get fat, deaf early, diabetes, high cholesterol, and “The president is signing farm bills designed to keep the river of cheat corn flowing, guaranteeing that the cheapest calories in the supermarket will continue to be the unhealthiest”.

D.Michael, Response the government raises the tax price in sodas.

Soda is one of the most popular kinds of drinks in the world. Therefore a lot of people buy it. It sells the most in the united state, because soda is one the cheapest drinks in the united state. Also Soda is easy to find; you can find soda in any place such as: Grocery stores, Supermarket and many more etc.
It would be a good idea if the government raises the tax price in sodas. It can help because the more expensive it gets the less people would buy it. Somehow I’m agree somehow I’m not the reason I’m not agree because the economy is to low that’s peoples cannot buy the pensive dink, if the soda prices are too low and anyone can buy it. Sodas Cost less than the Healthy Drinks, therefore people choose to buy sodas because it’s cheaper. Example: The government doesn’t want people to smoke because smoking creates a lot of disease so the government increases the tax price. The government cares about how cigarettes can cause cancer and etc. Therefore they raise the price and they gave a rule that you have to be at least 21 to smoke a cigar and they even raise the price so less people would buy it. They spent all their time caring about cigars and pay less attention to sodas and soda is a big issuer because of all the chemicals they put in it. I think the government should try to persuade people to not buy sodas. Or either makes the soda company’s put fewer chemicals in their sodas and put more fruits. Because Soft drinks contain little to no vitamins or other essential nutrients and also Soft drinks have long been suspected of leading to lower calcium levels and higher phosphate levels in the blood. When phosphate levels are high and calcium levels are low, calcium is pulled out of the bones. The reason I’m agree for the government to raise the price is because The phosphate content of soft drinks is very high, and they contain virtually no calcium a lot of research has found that consumption of soft drinks in high quantity, especially by children, is responsible for many health problems that include heart disease, cancer, high level of cholesterol, etc.
