12th May 2010 		According to the movie Food inc., corn or corn products are found in as much as 90-95% of all supermarket items. Corn products include high fructose corn syrup and even vanilla.

19th January 2005 		The United States government heavily subsidizes corn production, a fact reflected in the high per-capita production of corn in the US (and correspondingly, corn consumption, in which the U.S. is also far and away the leader). The New York Times cites a figure of $10 billion annually in U.S. corn subsidies.

This policy of subsidizing corn has lowered the cost of U.S. beef and poultry production, as most US meat is now corn-fed rather than grazed. Subsidized corn is also sold and consumed as filler and as corn syrup, appearing in as much as 25% of American supermarket products, according to one source: When Corn is King. Some critics have linked the United States' corn subsidization policy, and the resulting profusion of corn syrup-sweetened products, to the rising epidemic of obesity in that country.
