Sure, some food is traded as a commodity, but the food we eat is not a commodity. We don't go to the supermarket to buy big boxes labelled "FOOD" for the cheapest price we can possibly find. But when it comes to school lunches, we're not far from it.
The food we put in children's bodies is not a commodity.
Just like Jesus threw the money changers out of the temple, the government needs to throw these junk food marketers out of our schools.
