It's Super food?

I was reading an article about the newest track of foods in American society and it seems that a new trend is foods that have much to do with being better for you. Part of the article was a woman who was saying how she accounted for the greens she bought as part of her children's health and her families lifestyle. Of course the article also stated that healthy, low fat, and organic foods often cost 3-4 times as much as their chemically ridden counterparts.

So not only are we widening the gap between the "have nots" and the "have mores," we are also leaving them no other choice but to eat foods that are not as good for them? I mean, the mother of three trying her best to simply FEED her family is going to buy the cheapest most filling foods she can find. And who can blamer her really?

But see this works out perfectly. The lower class will have a shorter lifespan, but breed like rabbits in order to keep a surplus of laborers out in the working field. Of course this means that the upper class will generally be predispositioned to having fewer children which will eventually lead to a class war and some kind of internal revolution. Unless, we can somehow allow the elite to gain control of the foodstuff, create and addiction to them, and keep the underclass pacified in such a way that they do not care about short lifespans or their menial tasks without class strata movement.

But I digress.

Basically it all comes down to the fact that in America only the wealthy have the power to eat healthy foods-- UNLESS, the poor can find some kind of unity that break other bonds and create municipal gardens, and foster communal self reliance. Until that day they will be bound to the upper class like cattle in the field are bound to the hay truck.
