So, has anyone ever thought about why our food supply is so heavily subsidized by the government? Attacking food subsidies is, essentially, saying, I don't want a safety net for our country in case something goes haywire in our food production network.

Instead of attacking their existence, wouldn't it be a better idea to attack how they are unfairly applied to existing structures rather than new, less environmentally harmful options?
