Yeah, cause people didn't eat before capitalism

no, they did, but mostly because they and their kids would wake up before dawn and bust their arse on the farm or performing their trade to eat what they could afford.

So we should regulate the producing capacity of our farmers to help the nutrient depleted hungry kids and our ability to export grain/corn/whatever we produce?

If it was not about profits, the country would be unable to meet the needs for our ethanol demand, our hungry children and world hunger. Government regulations on farming would not help. The poor quality produce gives the FREE market a niche to create whole foods, fresh/farmers markets and higher quality food for those who care and can afford. I understand your propensity to have gov solve everything, but free market/capitalist solutions are the answer. While some bad exists in capitalism, it's usually from crony (government regulated) capitalism and greed which exists regardless of the system of economy in place.
