Sorry, I don't want crappy "food for the poor" and healthy "food for the rich". I find this dystopian, and a false dichotomy.
And those advocating are usually those "well enough" that don't have to suffer the "food for the poor" themselves.
>Protecting a domestic cheese production probably doesn't increase food availability for the poor - nor is that domestic cheese production some health food.
As part of the typical French diet, as is its use in France (and Europe), it's much healthier than the kind of crap passed for food to the poor in the US, or the fads peddled year after year as some "miracle food" to richer consumers (quinoa, chia, kale, and such).

Sorry, a bit of-topic, but is kale that expensive? In France it's like twice the price of romanesco (despite being harder to prepare tbh) but still pretty cheap (like 6€/kg).
