  • @DavenAlexis genetically modified food can be beneficial.

  • Someones a fat fuck that's willing to pay higher taxes to stay that way. (1 dislike)

  • "Big companies" and subsidized corn and soy also means genetically modified food. This has to stop.

  • supposed to say "inexpensive AND marginally nutritious foodstuffs..."

  • We have subsidized the achievement of bringing inexpensive at marginally nutritious foodstuffs to the American table; this may have assisted in war against domestic poverty and starvation. However, it is still our personal responsibility to balance our diets to make sure that the efforts of our leadership are not a contributor to epidemic proportions of unhealthy eating.

  • but twinkies taste better...

  • That guy must be brave to single out twinkies don't be supprised to hear that he gets sued over this by the company that makes twinikes.

  • He pronounced fructose like frucktose.

  • Working for CA PIRG is a scam, straight up! Avoid working for them at all costs! They prey on idealistic college students and spam craigslist preying on gullible people with promises of jobs and good causes but, in reality, canvassers work there for 70-80hour work weeks; less than minimum wage and bounced paychecks. They also like union busting.

  • Bravo! Thank you for this contribution. It is definitely more and more expensive to eat nutrient dense, healthy foods. I will promote this video and the website!
