If you really want the sugar back in your Coke, don't waste time
bothering the Coca-Cola company.  Write to your congressmen and
senators and tell them that to repeal the price supports for sugar.
The U.S. wholesale price for sugar is about three times the world
price due to the sugar price supports, which used to make sense when
there was some worry about being cut off (40 years ago) from foreign
sugar sources, but are now archaic subsidies for the small group of
midwestern sugar beet farmers.

If Coke bottlers could get sugar at the world price, they'd never waste
their time with fructose syrup -- see if any Coke outside the U.S.
is sweetened with anything but sugar.

your local art movie.  It's a scream.
