Feeding the world or fattening our households?

Feeding the world or fattening our households? Here we go again. Down the same road many others have gone before us. As with any biological species, some 90% of our human daily activities are centered around getting sustenance, food. Whether directly or indirectly the activity is there and its fierce. For some of us we have amassed enough resources to have our families swimming in food. Yet what does this mean for the riches nation on the planet, to ever hqve existed. Right now in the United States food takes up only 19 percent of our earned living when at one point it took up almost eighty percent. This was of course back when we had to hunt our own game. So, now that food is so cheap, (The cheapest it has ever been for our human race) what does that say about us as a people? If this were an ancient experimented in the human condition done hundreds of uswest ago the answer would be a simple one, we could wipe out ginger on the planet. Yet the sad truth is just the opposite. Our ancestors would see the we have instead opted to grow fat, gluttonouss, selfish, and disease-ridden. In all of this we have still achieved the what is today's ultimate human goal, We Feel Good. Any thoughts?
