If the price of food products at the store reflected the actual cost to produce them, we might begin to realize the actual state of our economic situation in this country. No one gets paid less, relative to the amount of work expended, than a farm worker. Our food stays cheap because of subsidies paid by taxpayers. In this way, more money goes into fat-cat's pockets and less to the farmers who have to slug it out with their sweat. We have bread and circuses, and don't complain. no free lunch.
