Do you think the obesity epidemic is caused by capitalism. (lemmygrad.ml)

I think it could be because unhealthy food that can cause obesity is more addictive and therefore more profitable.

The US subsidizes dairy and beef, when in reality putting that money into subsidizing grains and vegetables is so much more beneficial for people in the long run.

Can you imagine getting 4 heads of fresh lettuce or kale for 1$, it could be so much better.

Yeah if I had control of subsidies the government would make stuff like lettuce kale and fruits and vegetables cost as little as possible to make it accessible for the poor and the working class in general.
