Amount of import of anything should be controlled only by the demand for it…seems like a no-brainer! Protectionism takes us backwards

I am a 26 year old grad student from Chicago and I have a humble little blog of my own (A Voice in the Wilderness) and here’s my latest piece:

Through the 2008 Farm Act, the U.S. Government sanctions the sugar industry’s cartel. The U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Trade Representative jointly administer this economic abomination. Concentrated benefits accrue to both the rent-seeking sugar and corn sweetener industries, while consumers pay diffuse (yet real) higher than equilibrium prices for sugar-containing products. This knowledge comes from experience, because I help to operate the USDA program.

But is it as economically and ethically preposterous as getting Wal-Mart banned from your city and then insisting “We don’t miss them, we have great supermarkets… we don’t need Wal-Mart.”?

There are a great number of natural and artificial sweeteners. Seems a low risk approach would be to divide your total sweetener usage amongst several of them, thus reduce any unknown dose-related risk that might be associated with any of them.

I wonder to what extent legislation keeps those other sweeteners from the market.

Has it been established that white refined sugar is more healthy than HFCS?
–RagnarD

Possibly so. There is some indication, not yet conclusive, that high fructose corn syrup is resistant to insulin in some people and causes high blood glucose levels to remain in our system too long. It’s glycemic index seems to be higher than cane sugar. If these indications prove to be accurate then we might say that the sugar import quotas have not only driven the United States candy industry, along with a few thousand good jobs, to Canada, but also have caused the current explosion in Type II diabetes.

One small thing we can do is to buy Mexican bottled coke (made with sugar not HFCS) that is now available in many grocery stores and restaurants serving Mexican food. It tastes great, like the coke we had when we were kids, and is healthier because cane sugar in limited amounts is not harmful to people susceptible to type II diabetes.

Note: HFCS is in almost everything including canned tomato soup, kecthup, worcester sauce, and just about everything that is refined. To avoid it you have to avoid everything in the center isles of the grocery store, and read the label of everything you buy.

I hadn’t heard of Stevia so I did a quick search. Turns out the Sourpuss Monopolists have their goons in the FDA running protection for them on this front also.

Disgusting.

The quotas restrict the amount of sugar that may be imported. Raising them allows more sugar to be imported.

Even if you were dumb enough to accept the logic of these trade barriers, aren’t we having a sugar shortage right now???

I would have hoped that even a staunch protectionist would argue for lowering quotas during a shortage – or at least not RAISING them. That’s crazy.

I just read in John Stossel’s book “Give Me a Break” how corn growers benefit from the sugar quota because high fructose corn syrup is more affordable than sugar. He notes how coca-cola in Mexico is made with sugar. Has it been established that white refined sugar is more healthy than HFCS?

I use stevia as a sweetener, Way more healthy for you. Down side It cost more, but you use less to do the job. Say ¼ tea spoon stevia = 1 cup sugar.

For goodness sake, Don!

You and Russ better stop giving them ideas. It seems like half of the ridiculous “so stupid it would be like doing x” comments you make have come true over the last year, so just stop feeding the flames.
