If food is relatively cheap in the US (>7% of income) why are we so poor† at making sure everyone is fed to a certain modicum?<p>†<a href="http://www.worldhunger.org/articles/Learn/us_hunger_facts.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.worldhunger.org/articles/Learn/us_hunger_facts.ht...</a>
Everyday I'm stunned about the low quality food we get served in the US. Walking through a supermarket, reading labels, all processed food is too high in calories, includes corn syrup and loads of sodium.
Ever wondered why a wonder bread can stay good for 2 weeks?<p>Yikes!
is anyone else a bit skeptical at the number of countries averaging over 3,000 calories/day? wouldn't such a person consistently gain a pound or two a month, every month?
