Sugar is less than 2% of crop value in the U.S. but sugar lobbyists spend over a third of all crop lobby money to bribe your government to continue this sweet deal. Companies that use sugar have closed U.S. factories which costs thousands of jobs no longer available to Americans due to this lobbying (bribery) by just a handful of sugar producers.

Sugar lobby costs consumers $3 billion a year
The U.S. sugar policy also costs taxpayers more every time they choose to buy their favorite candy, cereal or any other sugar-containing product. Studies by the American Enterprise Institute and Sweetener Users Association peg the cost to consumers between $2.4 billion and $3.5 billion per year.
