Cheap Food: The Foundation of Modern Civilization

Megan McArdle on the incredible blessing of cheap food:
The notion that cheaper food is some sort of a disaster is frankly terrifying. Cheaper food is, literally, the foundation of modern civilization; it is why so many of us can afford to do something besides spend all day seeking sustenance.
Well said!

Makes me want to go out and celebrate my thankfulness with a Big Mac. I'm serious.

Amen. Let's hear it for the Big Mac, the Whopper, and Cheese Krystals!

Let's add in Arby's Roast Beef, and Chik-fil-A sandwiches!
