When Your Grocery Bill Hides a $95 Trillion Secret
What if I told you that the seemingly innocent act of buying a $5 burger actually costs society thousands of dollars? This invisible price tag represents the hidden economic, environmental, and health costs that never appear on receipts but devastate our world nonetheless. Our global food system-dominated by a handful of corporations-has engineered a perfect storm: it simultaneously starves 800 million people while making 2.1 billion overweight. This isn't just a health crisis; it's an economic catastrophe that will cost $95 trillion over the next 35 years. That's enough to fund NASA for four centuries or provide clean water to every human for the next hundred years. Yet this same broken system holds the blueprint for solving climate change, reversing chronic disease, and rebuilding communities. The question isn't whether we can afford to fix our food system-it's whether we can afford not to.
