The dominant social practices of our society are industrial atrocities, and will not change because we have adapted our practices so well to our industrial needs.
Major Claim:
The way the U.S food system has developed, it allows the industrial atrocities to rein supreme, due to the government backing and the cheap availability of the industrial food.
Supporting Claim 1:
The government backs the unhealthy industrial atrocities
Evidence 1: They subsidize corn, which is grown in a manner that is not good for the earth
Evidence 2: The government is filled with former food industry members
Evidence 3: They wont pass laws to make food safer, due to the fact it would be taking away from the industry
Supporting Claim 2:
The industrial grown food is much more accessible and cheap then organics and other types of non-industrialized foods.
Evidence 1- Fast food places having cheap menus and "value menus"
(Just as a side note I find it funny how mcdonalds doesn't come up when you type "fast food menus" into google)
Evidence 2: Organic Pricing being higher then that of industrial foods
Evidence 3: Organic statistics vs. fast food
