Alice Waters is trying to start a slow food revolution here. Supposedly our next food revolution is undoing everything that's been done the last 50-75 years and going back to good, basic, healthy food. Japan and France/Europe have us beat in terms of quality and just overall respect and attitude for food. In some sense, the US is feeding the world. Just not in a very healthy way.

You have to pay lots of money for healthy food, fresh food, vs. food that is not good for you- that's cheap. It's easy to blame big corporations, but they're merely providing what we want. People want cheap food. They want food that tastes good. Healthy is far down on the list of what we, as an entire nation, want.
