I'm not sure how the comment above applies to the article. Since the government is subsidizing dairy AND corn, that would mean that both milk and soda (which incorporates high fructose corn syrup) are BOTH cheaper than they would be otherwise.I have a different question - why is milk assumed as a reference point as the drink of choice for kids? It's a myth that kids "need" milk, and my opinion is that it does more harm than good.
