The two things the US govt promote/subsidise via farmers is corn and soya ... it's in everything - seriously unhealthy and "fake" and consumed in massive quantities.
Take a look at the shelf space in supermarkets taken up by rows of utter crap drinks - all filled with corn extract and additives. It speaks volumes.
The numbers of farmers who last grew a vegetable/greens is getting rarer tho some know exactly what they are doing and do it very well.
Can be summarized by a prime beef breeder - the guy is a human doc as well as a vet and has some serious walking beef stock. He never injects crap into his herd to enhance their production value, but keeps quoting "Feed them with crap and the end product will be crap - it's that simple". His beef was excellent
