Get Big or Get Out: An Austrian-school reckoning with the TRUE COST of CENTRALIZED #food, and whether the DECENTRALIZED alternative can actually pay for itself. America’s CHRONIC #disease CRISIS did not emerge by accident. It was, in part, the predictable consequence of **a food system shaped by #government policy** Four reforms stand out. First, stop subsidizing the products policymakers claim they want less of. Second, restore regulatory parity: regulatory structures that impose high fixed compliance costs regardless of scale. Third, restore liability. Producers who contaminate groundwater, degrade neighboring property, or impose measurable environmental harm should bear the cost of those actions. Fourth, improve transparency through private certification, labeling, and reputation. Food is a classic example of a product whose most important qualities are difficult for consumers to verify directly. Conclusion: If food prices reflected the FULL costs of PRODUCTION, including **the costs now shifted to #taxpayers, ecosystems, and future healthcare spending**, the American #food economy would look very different. The resulting system would not be healthier because policymakers designed it to be. **It would be healthier because consumers, responding to honest prices and accurate information, chose it for themselves** https://www.malone.news/p/get-big-or-get-out
