I think the push for local/organic was meant to drive down prices, but you’re right… I’m not sure it’s working that way. When people complain about the diets of the poor, they don’t realize it’s often what they can afford. LIkewise, if you’re working several jobs to make ends meet, it’s harder to do things like have a garden or raise chickens.
Ending subsides would help, but it’s not the only problem. There needs to be a pretty radical set of solutions to the food problem.
