A serving of one food may be more or less healthy than another.<br /><br />There is a big difference between subsidies for entrenched industries that create large negative externalities such as health or environmental costs and incentives for new industries that would create public health or environmental benefits.Tom Noyeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05304960210838414244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11210638.post-18599768550661436442011-06-19T10:42:07.605-04:002011-06-19T10:42:07.605-04:00What a bunch of nonsense. <br /><br />The graph is purposely misleading. Tuna fish is 4 cents per ounce as is the Big Mac.<br /><br />If you do not want to drink tap water you can opt for a plethora of filtration systems. <br /><br />As for eating healthy cheaply there are many options if you do your homework instead of bitch and moan http://www.livestrong.com/article/80049-eat-cheaply/<br /><br />Finally, are we to believe you have turned a new leaf and are against ALL Federal subsidies? You can’t demand money for the subsidies you like then stand on your soapbox and bitch and moan about the ones you don’t like. <br />The Federal government should not be deciding the winners and losers in any market.
