Candy Corn?
In what I believe is evidence of how backward many US agricultural policies have become, candy has become cheaper than corn (and, more importantly, fresh vegetables for humans to eat).
However, imagining cows eating gummy worms does bring a smirk to my face.

Does this mean we should be considering sugar as a substitute for corn in evaluating market supply and demand? But aren’t gummy worms made from HFCS anyways? – meaning this practice is even more convoluted than it seems, hence the nutritionist’s observation that candy provides cows with “the same kind of energy as corn.”
