America’s food system is unfortunately a Frankenstein that we have created by supporting the $3.99 value meal for many years!

Through our purchasing habits we were also led to believe that we should save money in food and use it to buy things we do not need! Now watch what happened with the cost and the situation of US healthcare!

In 1930 Americas used to spend 24.2% of their income in food. In 2005 only 9.5% of the income was spent in food. There are many things behind this ratio, but in any case it shows about our damaging consumptions habits..

By supporting the $3.99 value meal we were not only ruining our collective health, but also creating a consolidated food system that is damaging our environment in a terrible way!

About 50% of the food is produced by only 2% of the farms in America.

81% of the beef, 73% of sheep, 56% of pork and 50% of chicken is produced by only 4 firms in the USA.

Only 0.5% of the America’s agriculture is organic!

We should take the lead by example and start creating different movements to change our health, our environment and with it, America’s food system for good!
