It's the dominance of the fast food industry and their power to the determine the very methods of farming and food production for the cheapest, fastest product.
It's the way healthy organic food costs 3 times as much so that only the middle class and higher can afford to eat well.
Right, and another huge aspect of it is the fact that organic food really is better for the Earth. I think the health for people is a rather tricky debate, but the health of fewer pesticides for the Earth is inarguable. As long as these HUGE industries control how food is farmed, we're screwed.
Fun fact- in France and Australia, almost 80% of their food is organic. That's because most of their food production has remained within the country itself, allowing for regulations that can actually be enforced.
