Poverty and obesity are nutrition problems.
Government subsidies can go horribly wrong.

Subsidies for corn offer cheep prices for junk food, sweeteners.

My opinion is that lobbyists have the ear of Congress above the voices for free market value of protein above factory processed junk food.
I'm paying about $3.00 for a bag of frozen corn.
The raw material for Doritos.......
highly processed food should cost much more.

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make
you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” ---Ralph
