I am curious why you think our choices are being restricted as to what we eat.
You can still eat a 1950s diet if you choose. What used to be called staples are still available at the store, though you have to look for them since their shelf space is WAY down. Just take the staples home and cook them up.
We have, as a people, chosen to go for fast, convenient options over inexpensive and healthy ones. That’s not a government plot to control us, it’s just our own poor choices. As a group, not individuals.
Food is often less expensive than ever before in history. You can buy 50 pounds of rice for <$20. You can easily eat for a month on 50 pounds of rice. Not particularly enjoyably, but it provides plenty of calories.
BTW, in the grocery yesterday I saw frozen peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. LOL
That is pathetic!

Ok, first, try to buy something that doesn't have corn in it and corn that's not geneticly modified. If you're successful in that, try the same with soy beans.
Some folks may point to a grand conspiracy but the reason, I think, is more related to your comment about the price of food. That would be because both soy beans and especially corn are highly subsidiezed. So what you don't pay at the grocery is made up in taxes.
I can go to a local convience store and get a 44 oz soda for 69 cents. Why? It's because high frutose corn syrup is un-naturally cheap.
What we'er ending up with is an industrial food system that cranks out more empty calories and less nutrition than ever before.
And as far a choices go, where do you get your raw dairy products?
