How would making produce cheaper be legislating health. I am anti policing purchases for food stamps, but reducing barriers for people. One of the barriers for poorer people to get produce is the cost. And we have a lot of food waste. This kills two birds with one stone without forcing anything.
I'm not quite sure what making produce cheaper will accomplish? It's already one of the cheapest categories of items in every grocery I've ever been into regardless of where I have lived.
All food turns to sugar. But those that are protein or complex carbs, gains,lugumes at healthy. Refined flour,sugar are spiking quickly in the blood with little nutrients. Lots of calories but hunger comes quickly.
Agree about the corn lobby, but it's also the soda corporations greed with their ever increasing serving size that's a big part of the problem. When I grew up cokes came in 6 1/2 ounce bottles. Now people buy a 32oz at a fast food place and take home a re-fill.
And btw for the OP, the problem isn't in the west, it's the mid and southwest where they really grow'em big...
^ What about the folks that order the Red Robin gastro bomb burger, cheese dripped fries..... And a 32oz diet soda, lol. Hey way to shave off 250 cals from your 1,800 cal lunch, lol

The soda companies are greedy bc they offer larger sizes?
Or the people are greedy for consuming them?
Let's put blame where it really is.
We don't drink soda and haven't for years. It's an easy choice to make.
