Actually, you'd like federally unsubsided foods. It would mean more locally grown produce and meats. Most of the big agricultural subsidies are for corn and sugar, the really bad stuff. Agricultural subsidies are making the nutrition crisis worse, not better.

It's unlikely that the removal of agricultural subsidies would create a significantly large market for locally grown produce and meats.

In fact, it would probably do precisely the opposite, as food could be outsourced just like the rest of our industry to areas with minimal labor laws to hamper cheap food production.

Don't corn subsidies make food-corn more expensive (the majority of corn subsidies are for ethanol production, which diverts supply from food/feed)?
