This truly is sad. The planet can so easily feed everybody and the eating habits of most North Americans at least are absolutely disgusting when you think about this. There are about 4 or 5 companies that own or control practically everything people eat here even though the vast majority of it is just garbage. I've been really avid about buying local and organic for the last couple years and have never felt better for it, although I'm really lucky to live where I do for this since it's usually cheaper on top of everything else.
