  Poverty + Food Insecurity = Obesity

  Elizabeth - so your solution is to re-package the author's solution and to throw it back in his face as your own?  Ending ag subsides was his first point.  And I'll agree, shifting that money into expanding the food stamp program is a great idea.  But I don't believe his point is to restrict the caloric intake of those who rely on federal food aid as his third point is conditional on healthy foods becoming more affordable. 

  
  

  We don't all have to consume "organic foodie" diets to be healthy.  There IS a middle ground somewhere between whatever it is these organic foodies eat and soda/chips.  And it seems to me that the author's point is to make this middle ground accessible to our nation's poor in hopes of fighting a growing obesity epidemic.

  
  

  As for the sexism well, I'm a woman and I'm just... not... seeing it.
