There have already been riots in Mexico because of the corn shortage.
But you will have about as much luck fighting "Big Corn" as you did "Big
Oil."
It may be worth noting that corn growers are getting NO federal crop
subsidies, since the price is currently high. Not as high as it's been
in adjusted dollars in the past, but high enough that the capitalist
system responded in admirable fashion, inspiring growers to announce
plans to plant a record number of acres in corn.
Guess Mexican farmers would be free to do that too, wouldn't they?
