The California Public Interest Research Group (CALPIRG) describes the history of farm subsidies, how taxpayer dollars are going to unhealthy food, and what Congress can do to stop subsidizing obesity. Learn more and take action at www.calpirg.org
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.
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!

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