yes, I'm aware. But I thought it was a point worth making.

That we're filling the bellies of the rich also goes against the grain of reality. The food production systems we're talking about make cheap unhealthy fast food possible, and speaks to the higher rates of obesity, diabetes and other food related diseases in poorer neighborhoods where funds to buy 'organic' is limited as is knowledge.

Veggies cost more than cheap beef, especially when you start looking at cost per calorie.
