Food Economics

Letter to a think-tank economist... first paragraph.


The relationship between food economics (the most adulterated products garner the highest profit margins) and health economics (the least adulterated foods promote the lowest health care costs). The “health lobby” is almost helpless against big food manufacturers’ high budget brain-washing of the public. The resulting health care costs, or externalities, are borne by the public, not these corporations. Large manufacturers, due to their cost structure, are incapable of making truly healthy, real food products. Ever see a coupon for an apple?
