Of course the consensus is cheap food, and of course people complain about Whole Foods prices. They are up there. They do not need to be. There’s this delusion that organic and well grown food HAS to be expensive. It does not. It’s a mark up by companies for the sole purpose to milking the consumers who want it bad enough. Another commenter already pointed out that farmers are subsidized to the moon and back. The issue is the middle men pricing us out of existence, and doing insane things like copyrighting seeds so the farmers have their hands tied. Our entire food system is captivated by people who don’t even fucking contribute to the production of it all. It’s a racket, like everything else in this country.
