Big Ag isn't the problem: US eating habits are the problem. We eat too much meat, and we pay too little for it. Cheap corn & soybeans, subsidized by our tax dollars, go into animal feed.

Those $1 Rally's (or whoever's) burgers are what's wrong with the US food system. Eat more plants, people.

Your fast food habits are contributing to a broken food system.

This is the biggest reason why we are unhealthy and I'd say it is directly linked to our disconnection from agriculture as a whole. The average US citizen in 3-4 generations removed from agriculture. They don't know how to grow their food or even where it comes from, so they don't eat fresh vegetables or fruits.
