mind boggling

I'm just trying to wrap my brain around the fact that it is easier and cheaper for this country to manipulate corn several times over to create a sweetener like high fructose corn syrup than it is to encourage more natural sweeteners (subsidies for farmers?).

This brings to mind an issue I had with my last retail job...it was easier and cheaper for them to send a product to China (the other side of the planet!) to be refurbished and have it shipped back than it was to simply have it done here...yikes
