"The History of every major Galactic Civilization tends to pass
through three distinct and recognizable phases, those of Survival,
Inquiry and Sophistication, otherwise known as the How, Why and Where
phases. 'For instance, the first phase is characterized by the
question How can we eat? the second by the question Why do we eat?
and the third by the question Where shall we have lunch?'" - The
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams

With farm policies that ensure that food is plentiful and cheap for
US residents, it's easy to think that our society is firmly in the
"Where shall we have lunch?" phase of civilization. Sure, some people
have a hard time financially, but the food system itself seems to
work. Or, at the least, to require little modification.

But it may be the case that instead of making our food situation more
secure with each passing year, the current methods of food production
and distribution are pushing us closer all the time to a society in
which we're all back to wondering how we can eat.
