and spoke about how our cheap food system is leading to this obesity crisis. She also made the allusion on how much more expensive it is to buy fresh fruit and vegies (and it is... my food budget has gone through the roof), than to buy High Corn Syrup, fat and sugar laden food products.

Now I will disagree with the reporter, there is a clear villain the story... and his first name is Greed, his second is corporations. Things just don't come up fully formed from Zeus's head. I know, he cannot really say it, probably would be canned by the company that pays him, but here is the other piece of the story that caught my attention. People are paying attention.

So for the PRC that keeps saying there is nothing to this, free will, yada, yada, yada... we are getting more and more articles, not just in the scientific lit where you will not bother to read... but the popular magazines. And yes the crisis is real, and yes there is a problem when a bag of highly processed potato chips are much cheaper, not just cheaper, than the same fresh russets at the store.
