Big business is out to make a profit, and they have been able to do quite well with the subsidization of the corn industry in the US.
Still, I'm not going to defend big business. Companies like Tyson Foods, Nestle, and Dean Foods are as much at fault for supplying the processed crap everyone eats, and the government is for recommending people eat it.
But therein lies the difference. People trust the government, and the government screwed them over with their diet recommendations.
Companies like Tyson Foods are being forced to adopt organic food because of public demand in the past few years. The movie Food Inc talked about Walmart doing the same thing. Business can change, and will change based on what the public wants.
But the government isn't being held accountable, nor will it ever be. People just keep on trusting their recommendations each and every day.
