1. Watch "Food Inc" and read Michael Pollan's books

Then come back and say that the individual is to blame.

Food and agricultural policy have contributed greatly to the health problems American society faces today. And it's not just HFCS. It's manufactured "food products".

And thank you Monsanto for Roundup and patented soybeans and putting organic farmers in jeopardy. :sarcasm:

Added on edit -

And yes, it would be possible to feed the population we have now with sustainably raised food. We might have to pay a bit more and eat a bit less meat, but we could do it.
