why do people immediately jump to the USSR whenever somebody criticizes capitalism? it's an ignorant reaction, and assumes intention that was neither implied or explicit in the comment. nonethelss, this isn't an argument for communism, i'm just pointing out the flaw in your assumptions: state sponsored agriculture (aka subsidies aka something resembling socialism) is one of the big reasons why food is so cheap. not to mention that our food system is centralized by a very small amount of companies, who centrally plan our food system.
