As much as bashing capitalism is in vogue. I'd take capitalism running the food system over communism any day. The reverse article could have been written 50 years ago. "Starving communism: How collectivism killed the kitchen"

- bell-cot 1y agoWell, yes - but that's a false dichotomy. In most western countries, food & agriculture are so regulated/subsidized/twisted that "capitalism" is as much an ideological facade as it is a description.

- heyimada 1y agoI grew up in a post-communist country, freshly out of the waiting lines for oranges. It's not about that. We can take the beneficial from capitalism and use it to run the food systems too. And we are. But I think it's just good to be aware of what you put in your body, as the supermarkets or food producers don't really incentivize that.
