It wasn't long ago that grocery prices were rising and ethanol was blamed because it cause corn prices to rise, so they said.  

Today traveling down the aisles in the grocery store one doesn't see dropping prices as corn prices have collapsed nor are there stories on TV about the low prices of corn and the lack of response by food producers.

But the most intriguing aspect in all of the discussions about corn raising the price of food was the lack of intelligence in comparing Pepsi or Coke with corn syrup to those products that contained neither.  That is the diet forms which rose in price to the same level as the sugared ones.  If corn syrup was the determining factor in the price rise and there was no corn syrup in a product where was the justification for raising the price?

Carbonated, artificially flavored brown water shouldn't cost as much as the same product with expensive corn syrup and with lower corn prices shouldn't the products be a lot cheaper now?  Last I checked Pepsi is still running around $7 for 24 cans or $1.58 for a 2 liter bottle.  Lots higher some places.
