Could those people eat healthier? I don't know, I can't say what their exact financial situation is. ...

There's the rub. Those claiming "it shouldn't be this way.." are effectively saying "food should always be expensive." Sure, you can claim that you're not saying that . . .but you are.
Oh, and any nasty food handling that you see from the big evil food corporations can also be done by small farms. Also, remember the (movie example) good-guy who slaughtered his chickens the old-fashioned way? ...he will be up next to being demonized. --Yep, slitting the chickens throats when he
could be gassing them to death.
How inhumane of him and his evil big food business. --that will be the cry of the food elite.
Where does it stop?
