I am not sure what you mean by feral free market but what we have in US and EU doesn't look like that. There are tons of subsidies and regulations making a lot of things unprofitable to grow (cause you get cash for free when you grow junk food) and a lot of things unpractical (hard to have small simple farm when you have to comply with tons of laws just to ask eggs from a few hens you have).

By 'feral' I mean 'unfettered', wild. I agree the subsidies are not helpful, but I think they exist to politically support farmers rather than to encourage particular foods. That said (to use the latest irksomely popular phrase), I don't think the agricultural subsidies are the whole, or even major part of the story of the food environment.
