My friends, it is not a matter of creating a healthy, affordable food option. Its embracing what options we already have. In my honest opinion I feel that hemp(GASP) could prove to be a major player in the food crisis that is arising.

You can put as many choices in front of as many people as you want, but they are going to buy hamburgers. Most of those food chains sell healthier food options, just look at McDonald's.

These choices are on the menu but people still buy the burgers. I guess you could argue its price difference but you'd have to take that up with McDonalds themselves on why the prices are what they are. The government shouldn't be involved in a mans food choices.

A low income family does not splurge their ten dollars on ten hamburgers, they buy a few pounds of beef that could last much longer.
