Why are people suddenly now taking interest in America’s food system?

It is no secret that America’s food system is wrong and that’s something both political parties can agree on.

But why not? Why not when the large became the new small? Why not when for so many years people have been saying “look at the ingredients?” Why not when in 2021 people were saying to look into the food system? Why not when we went through our phase of childhood obesity problems being highlighted?

Why now? This is not some new thing. But, all around me, people are acting like it’s the first time they’ve heard it.

I’m not trying to start a debate. It just baffles my mind that this has been a topic before now and it’s being treated like it’s new.
