Too bad we don't subsidize vegetables....
We do subsidize and commoditize vegetables; you listed one and there are plenty of others stuffed in cans and sold and transported in boxes. What you mean is we haven't found a way to subsidize and commoditize
fresh vegetables yet. Between Costco, Walmart, and McDonalds just wait. We'll figure it out eventually. Given that it's hard to keep a vegetable "fresh" while transporting it long distances in non-refrigerated boxes, it's a toughie.
