    Ok, sorry, I wasn't specific enough. Not all food is created equal. Americans are fat because of sugar consumption and lack of exercise. Not because of a lack of access to or consumption of nutritious food.

    causes behind the decline in the nutritional quality of foods have been identified worldwide as chaotic mineral nutrient application, the preference for less nutritious cultivars/crops, the use of high-yielding varieties, and agronomic issues associated with a shift from natural farming to chemical farming. Likewise, the rise in atmospheric or synthetically elevated carbon dioxide could contribute to the extensive reductions in the nutritional quality of fruits, vegetables, and food crops.

    US farming tends to be even more "modern"
