I think it's shortsighted, naive and optimistic to expect that subsidization of "fresh produce" would produce any better results than the current system.
After all, there's nothing inherently wrong with corn or cattle when they are produced in traditional ways, ie. corn that is not optimized for yield, sacrificing it's taste, and cattle is fed on grass, not on corn (which makes it sick).
