Incidently, I just ran into an article that makes clear trends in food right now are worsening. Farmers being given smaller shares of food profits. Larger and larger percentages are being given for the whole-selling of these products, marketing, packaging etc. Cheap, efficient, environmentally-harmful productivity. Mega farms cater large amounts of food using government subsidies and receiving tax breaks meant for entrepreneurial, small business farmers. Erosion and artificial chemicals, altering the biosphere aren't being stopped. I really should give the URL, here. It isn't easy reading, but I offer comparison to counterbalance the banality that is Alex Chiu.

Ultimately, the future points away from fluffy shit like that.
