Bodega!
Why do poverty and obesity go hand-in-hand? This humorous video explains why:
Dallas Penn of DallasPenn.com and Rafi Kam of OhWord.com illustrate the finer points of the Bodega Food Pyramid. I believe that such a disgusting food life exists because we help it to exist. Our policies regarding food are heavily slanted toward big business, which is interested only in maximizing profit. Our farm bill has a lot to do with it too — we subsidize certain crops, and food manufacturers will find ways to mass-produce products based on those subsidized crops.
What if we subsidized locally grown fruits and vegetables, or offered a way for small farmers — or even middle class homeowners with “victory gardens” — to sell their crops to local schools? There have got to be any number of creative ways out of our mass-produced food crisis.
