There are only a few companies that control the majority of the food supply, impacting everything from farming to processing.

The ancient world was largely rural and agrarian, with most people engaged in subsistence farming.

The industrialization of the American food system has led to a reliance on processed foods, which has contributed to a decline in nutritional quality and health outcomes.

You can't reduce an industry by fiat without risking its collapse; for example, cutting 30% of farmers could devastate the entire agricultural ecosystem.

We identified four major changes in nutrition over the last 30 to 50 years: a reduction in fat consumption, an increase in sugar intake, more food additives, and changes in mealtimes due to modern lifestyles.

We need to get back to interacting with our food differently. The convenience of ultra-processed food has contributed to unhealthy eating habits, and we should find ways to make the preparation of quality food more accessible and commoditized positively.

If we want to create 40 million jobs, we could do that with two pieces of legislation restricting modern farming techniques.

Our food policies are largely influenced by the food industry, which has created a system that harms public health.

The rise of AI coding agents is akin to the impact of the combine harvester on agriculture, where fewer farmers are needed to produce more food, suggesting a similar trend in software engineering.
