Quoted Text

USA federal subsidies for food production:

•Meat/Dairy -- 73.8 percent
•Grains -- 13.2 percent
•Sugar/Oil/Starch/Alcohol -- 10.7 percent
•Nuts/Legumes -- 1.9 percent
•Vegetables/Fruits -- 0.4 percent

That’s right – just 1.9 percent for nuts and legumes and 0.4 percent for fruits and vegetables.
As a result, a salad often costs you more than a Big Mac.
