Cheap American food

I just had a quick bite at In N Out, a better-than-average hamburger chain.  I am amazed at how cheap the meal was.  A double beef patty cheeseburger was just $3.30 and a side of fries was $1.50.  The level of agricultural industrialization (and government subsidies) must be incredible.

I'll be going to the heart of corn, beef, pork, and soybean country this weekend.  I'll report back on what I find out.
