The emphasis on fresh high-quality food made me wonder if that sort of food is more satisfying (and filling) than what the author sees in American food. Does eating poor quality food leave you hungry? (Also, consider people living in “grocery deserts” who subsist on large amounts of fast food. Their obesity rates are very high.)
Thanks for the info!
Nevermind on the maize thing then. Perhaps reducing the subsidies might be sensible for other reasons, but odds are that it won’t affect health concerns.
