This is gonna really bake your noodle: The three things you ate for dinner aren't even food according to the USDA. They're "specialty crops." "Food" is corn, soy, wheat and rice. Here's a PDF from the FDA on growing the "specialty crop" of plums. For the record, I agree with the intent of your edit. But I think a constitutional amendment isn't necessary, simply incentivizing different things. Everyone just wants to make money. The way we're doing now the people who make the most are pushing the hardest. I simply think change is going to be gradual and largely invisible to the consumer.
