Read some of the articles about hte new food pyramid that's perposed. Apperently when the origional food pyramid was designe,d it was done so behind closed doors with lobbyists form the different industries.

Also research agraculture. Yes there are some small farms and bread makers still left. Many are turning to organic or another gimmic though, why? Because big industry and goverment is who is producing most of the food these days. The little guys we're suposed to be pitying are being shoved out of business by large corperations that can mass produce cheaper.
