Not much mention of the USDA or the relevant committees in the House and the Senate. They're awfully relevant. The department and committees who control agricultural subsidies and how much corn syrup gets spooged into American food also control the funding of SNAP (food stamps).

Politicians in the states where corn doesn't rule everything are nevertheless limited in what they can do to combat these trends, since their political opponents are happy to use hunger as a weapon if they can.
