Our food system is insane

US subsidizes agricultural insurance -> corn, soy, wheat are super cheap -> processed food is made + sold at Walmart -> food stamps are used to buy it -> Walmart makes money; sales tax + corporate tax on Walmart's revenue are larger than Walmart's profit margin -> gov't makes more money off of Walmart than Walmart does

Sound money = food becomes healthy again
