How much work goes into a twinkie and somehow its as cheap as an apple. It just doesn't make sense until you think about how we subsidize food base products that are easily processed into the most unhealthy crap.
Wipe away the old subsidy structure and then begin subsidizing farms that ship non-molested fruits, veggies, and meat to the stores. Instantly we flip a bitch. A carrot becomes cheap and a twinkie will cost $2. People won't buy it any more. The main ingredient in Coca-Cola, corn syrup. When it becomes unsubsidized coke will become expensive and people will drink less.
We are literally killing our selves.

How will the students live? We can live on taxpayers subsidizing our mac & cheese, but cheaper carrots will never have the same calories/$.
