We Need Subsidies for Fruits and Vegetables!

I knew that meat and dairy were subsidized by the government. But I never thought about how much. I read an article today that said a hamburger could cost $35 to produce, but costs only $1.50 at a fast food restaurant because of farm subsidies. That is huge!!! That is mind-boggling! That is unacceptable. Our nation has reached epidemic proportions of the number of obese men, women and children and most claim that it costs too much to eat healthy fruits and vegetables. It costs less money to eat crap! Wouldn't it be great if meat would cost more and local fruit and vegetable growers could get the govenment subsidies to bring their prices down. Most medical advisers agree that to be healthy we much reduce our consumption of meat and increase our intake of whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Why shouldn't the way our government spends money reflect the best interests of its citizens? I will never look at a hamburger in the same way ever again.
