A Crack Dealer on every Corner: The Modern Food Supply

If there was a crack dealer on every corner in America... you'd probably have some real reservations about the future. Unfortunately, we do have crack dealers on every corner... they're called "fast food" and "chain" restaurants and grocery stores. The food being sold appears to be food but actually has a much different purpose than most might even consider. Like crack, it's made to give the eater a euphoric sensation that will train them to return for more. Nutrition is not necessarily a concern. As people's diets rely more and more on this prepared and packaged food... it's likely malnutrition is soon to follow. It's a new form of starvation. 
Starvation has been a political weapon for many centuries... this is just the latest twist. People think they're eating food... but it's only an addictive food substitute that leads to premature death and disease.
The following videos will certainly give you the basics of my argument.
