(248 posts)Americans can only afford the very unhealthy food produced by industrial factory farms.
And while the slow poison that is sugar (includes corn syrup, refined sugar, cane sugar, fruit juices, and more too numerous to list), wouldn't be hard to remove from processed foods, removal of wheat and related grains, potatoes (including sweet potatoes and yams), meat raised on unnatural diets, including most or all farmed fish, beef, poultry and other disease causing "foods" would leave most Americans hard-pressed to afford the remaining healthy foods.
I make a good living, but buying a porterhouse steak from a grass fed AND finished animal is a minor hardship. The tree nuts I eat are also too expensive for most Americans.
Americans can only afford to eat, because they are eating cheap to produce foods that are slowly killing them.
