| theprof00 said: So, do you understand now? This is basically how slaves were fed, and this is now how the inner city and poor are fed. And it has nothing to do with the fact that healthy food isn't affordable. It has to do with the fact that because farms have to stop producing other foods like carrots, celery, etc in order to produce for the company that pays their bills most efficiently, the healthy foods are suddenly a rare commodity. |
Yet all of the grocery stores in my town still have no problem stocking carrots, celery, etc. And they're not prohibitively expensive. They're just not popular because who the fuck wants to eat a carrot when, mmmmm, cheeseburger?
There is a culture of eating unhealthy. That corporations might try to make a buck by feeding that desire is neither a mystery nor a scandal.
