> Trump wants cane sugar in Coke, but corn group warns that'll slash jobs https://www.axios.com/2025/07/17/trump-cane-sugar-coke-corn

Let us be blunt: the whole HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) bs in #Gringoville is basically a subsidy to #BigAg and #BigCorn, so of course their lobbyists are fired up. People are paying it attention now because of the #PendejoInChief but this is not new.

And for record, yes, Mexican Coke does taste better with the cane sugar. (Though I cut soda out years ago personally.)

Uh oh. #Trump fucking with #BigCorn #Agribusiness. This is just performative symbolism, as is every other thing he does, and a drop in the giant bucket of corn syrup sales, but they won't take this lying down.

First it was the Gulf of Mexico, now Trump is coming for "Mexican Coke."

It's funny how the food industry has demonized oil and fat so much, yet folks will gobble up sugar and carbs with reckless abandon and not feel an ounce of guilt.

*oil glisten on some food* <-- folks go absolutely nuts
*1000000g of carbs/sugar* <-- just another day

🙄

It's not just #BigOil. Here's why #BigCorn is going after Joe Biden
Nearly 40% the nation's #corn crop goes in your #car's tank. New #EPA standards threaten that.
EPA finalized rules for models of semi-trucks, buses and other heavy-duty vehicles released from 2027 to 2032 in a bid to cut 1 billion tons of #greenhousegas #emissions through 2055. And require 56% of all car sales will be electric between 2030 and 2032.
#Lawsuit argues #regulations will cause economic harm.
