Document Summary
Its cheap fast and fills our kids up: they don"t have money to shop at the market because one item is more expensive. Compared to a burger that will fill them up: we have skewed our food system to the bad calories, obesity is due to income, we are wired to go to sugar,salt, and fat favors, diabetes occurs. Grow: faster,bigger,better,cheaper agriculture: everything is grass based. If we put glass walls on the food industry we would have a different food industry: 3 dollars a dozen for eggs compared to a 75 cent can of soda. Ibp and other meat companies rearranged buses for mexican workers to cross border to work. Hidden costs: nothing honest about the food. Organic food: stonyfield yogurt was acquired by groupe donone a 23 billion food conglomerate, walmart is going organic and is worried about there rep, economics is why walmart is organic.
