I had an epiphany today at the grocery store, while visually drowning in
the obscene variety and abundance of food available. Our culture is
screwed up. A lot.




I grew up poor. Very poor. We had commodity foods (before foodstamps). Not
much choice. But I got fat on that food. High carbs, high fat. Cheap food.
It was years before I ate fruit, vegetables, and meat. It's easy to be fat and
starving.

And many people are obese because buying starches is cheaper than meat. I'm
not talking about junk food. I'm talking about rice, potatoes, and flour.
It's not all black and white.
