I think most people think it comes from big factory farms?
And that it costs what it does because of supply and demand like any industry, but that subsidies make certain things like corn cheaper, and there's tremendous fluctuations in certain prices (like berries) because there are wildly different levels of supply coming from different countries at different times.

Are you suggesting it's not that?
