Energy, health care, agriculture, climate change, global outbreaks
like swine flu. What do all of these topics have in common? Food.
That¹s right. None of these issues can really be tackled without
addressing some of the fundamental problems of the food system and
the American diet.

People with simple answers never understand the problems.

Let's try some different words.

The way that food is grown, processed and transported is a major
contemporary issue in the Western world, it is not unique to America.. The
apparent cheapness and abundance of food conceals real environmental and
social costs in its production and unintended negative consequences that
have the potential to become more significant in the near future. The
system that puts food on the table and the way many people view food (or
ignore the issue) is not sustainable and must change.
