Poor nutrition is a big reason why almost one-fifth of the U.S. GDP is devoted to health care. We show how the U.S. food industry became cartelized and vertically integrated after World War II with the emergence of agribusiness. As the large food corporations and their partners in the oil and chemical industry pursue profits, the quality of the U.S. diet has steadily deteriorated with the massive use of pesiticides, preservatives and corn syrup. A return to local farming and home gardens may be the answer.
This program is an edition of the series In Context produced by MDR Productions, Inc. In Context originates at Pacifica affiliate WPKN 89.5 FM, Bridgeport, CT whose signal reaches most of Connecticut and parts of New York. In Context is broadcast on Wednesdays from noon to 1PM.
