Hi,
One in three school-age kids are overweight or obese, and a Twinkie costs less to manufacture than a carrot costs to grow.
That's because over the last 15 years, $245 billion in agriculture subsidies have made some products so cheap that high-fructose corn syrup and partially hydrogenated soybean oil are some of the cheapest food byproducts to produce. We need Congress to stand up for children's health by saying no to junk food subsidies.
I just sent a message to my senators, urging them to end these wasteful taxpayer subsidies. Can you send a message too?
