Calories per Dollar

Here's an interesting article on how we can thank the Farm Bill (at least in part) for the obesity problem. One of the most telling facts in the article: "the real price of fruits and vegetables between 1985 and 2000 increased by nearly 40 percent while the real price of soft drinks (a k a liquid corn) declined by 23 percent." It's actually cheaper to buy foods that are less healthy. Scary.
