the food cycle

Projections are that over 50% of the US population will have some form of diabetes by 2014.

The government subsidizes buying cheep genetically modified corn from giant corporate growing operations, it then becomes a cheep ingredient in the vast majority of processed foods on grocery store shelves, and then we wonder why more and more people have problems with obesity and diabetes.

On the other side, treatment of diabetes with quarterly doctor visits, pharmaceutical drugs, medical equipment (needles, blood sugar monitors, and test strips) is big big $$.

Next time you are out shopping, start looking at the ingredients of all the (relatively) lower cost foods.

Anything fresh and healthy costs outrageous, while anything with HCFS is cheep.

What better way to keep lower income folks sick, dependent, and weak so they cannot fight back.
