after World War II the government encouraged the conversion of the munitions industry into fertilizer production (while also encouraging a shift in the focus of nerve-gas research toward pesticides)...

...As four of the top 10 killers in America today – heart disease, stroke, Type 2 diabetes and cancer – are chronic diseases linked to diet, the correlation between money spent on food and medical care doesn’t look like a coincidence.

Cancer drugs (chemotherapy) are largely derived from mustard gas. The drastic increase in pesticides is worrying. Cancer is increasing yearly, to the point where a report said it would be the leading cause of death by 2010. I think one of the main culprits is fried food. I know it tastes good but it is sooooo bad for you. FReepmail if you want to learn more, I won't lecture on here more than that.

Not only is cheap food health and bad for the environment, but cheap food isn’t even cheap anymore.

Say again??

How much of the increase in cancer as a cause of death is because of reducing other causes of death? What used to be a fatal heart attack is now caught early and treated with a bypass or even just a good artery reaming. That means more people live long enough to get cancer.
