Feds aren't subsidizing recommended foods

While the Dept of Agriculture says half your diet should be from fruits and vegetables, it does not subsidize the farmers who grow them. Instead, half of all federal agriculture subsidies go to grain farmers.

Steve - it's nice to see the media is catching on. We stated this in our "MyPyramid: What the USDA Won't Tell You" piece several months ago. The prices of fruits and vegetables need to come down in order for the population to consume more of them. This will not happen unless subsidies are reallocated in their direction, as opposed to grains and dairy.
