That's a nice sentiment, but it doesn't work that way in the real world. My wife and I have been trying, very diligently, to avoid processed foods and those made with corn. Even with me not working and having the time during the day to research and shop for healthy groceries, its nearly an impossible task. It would certainly be impossible (at least here in DFW) for a family where both parents work full-time.

See, its the government themselves that are responsible for this current predicament due to their agricultural policy. I agree that people need to be responsible for their own intake, and know where their food comes from....but unless you own and operate a working farm/ranch then you're shit out of luck.
