That's capitalism, mate...can't have it both ways.

Saw a special on TV a few years ago where Monsanto was going after farmers who didn't use their seed, who were trying to keep their crop non-GMO. The bank of attorneys at Monsanto claimed that due to pollination, these stand-alone farmers crops were actually the new and improved Monsanto crop and Monsanto wants them to cease and desist. Corporations, financial institutes and wall street will be the downfall (already are) of the US more than anything else I can think of. Lobbyist are even lower than politicians in office. They take their knowledge and expertise and use it to screw the people to line their pockets. We are so screwed.

I'd say Greed and Stupidity is more the cause. Nothing is ever enough for these people. I've seen countless products screwed up because the producers wanted 100 percent of the population buying the stuff, and what was something very good gets "IMPROVED" to the point where it SUCKS. Want an example: Coca Cola's new Coke a few years back. It was so "wonderful" they had to bring the original back as "Coke Classic". Those people were so F*CKING stupid that they couldn't accept the fact that they were never going to get 100% of the market to drink their product. They were making money hand over fist, but it wasn't good enough and they darn near wrecked their business because instead of a nice profit, they wanted it ALL! If it ain't broke, don't fix it. End of Rant!

PS: Now they're screwing it up with high fructose corn syrup!

PSPS: How many GREAT products/ideas have been crushed by BIG business to insure the dominance of their products? Probably send chills down your spine.

Now? You just noticed this now?

This stuff will probably end going down in history as the root cause of a host of health issues for this country

No, I just mentioned it now to amplify my point. I noticed it not long after they started using it.

And it's in everything and just about killed the US sugar production...

More than a couple-three decades ago, I first became aware of the presence of Corn Syrup in foods, as a bachelor living by himself in an apartment, usually eating a couple eggs and a can of tuna (which I shared with my cat, "Bitchy-kitty") per day as my main meal, when I read the list of ingredients on the label of a bottle of Ragu. It listed "Corn Syrup" at the top of the list. Well. I did not recall seeing a jar of corn syrup on any shelf in my Italian grandmother's kitchen, so I concluded Ragu was using it to thicken its sauce, instead of cooking-down more fresh tomatoes to make their sauce.

I replaced the bottle of Ragu sauce where it had been on its shelf in the grocery store. I only picked a jar of their sauce up one further time, years later, and noticed they had eliminated corn syrup from the ingredients. I do not know if that is still true, and I don't care. I had decided to avoid everything with corn syrup in it and was not in a forgiving mood towards Ragu. Permanently.

I'm all in favor of capitalism, but rapacious capitalism is destructive to the economy at large.

No argument here, there’s a balance between rampant capitalism and a shade of government oversight. That’s not a view finding much favor these days.

Having lived in Ohio since 1961 I feel compelled to offer some words in its defense:

We have a large art museum called The Cleveland Clinic.

We have the Factory of Sadness on the Cleveland lakefront.

Cleveland's democratic party corruption and murder rates rival Detroit and Chicago.

We also have:

The newest railroad turntable and roundhouse in the country.

Mid-Ohio road racing course.

Cincinnati Skyline chili.

The apparatus Michelson and Morley used.

The Air Force Museum.

Lucy.
