Maybe in the small town you live in , but not in the real world . <| sep |> Quantity would be based on dieticiannutritionist recommendationsJust going to point out a nitpicky thing , nutritionist is not a legally protected term anyone can call themselves one regardless of qualifications unlike dietitian . 100 % of nutritionists are full of crap . From a different angle though , it ' s also possible that you ' d see something like what happened in the Soviet Union if the government becomes the main supplier of food to the lower classes . The more government interferes in an industry , the more that bureaucracy increases and the less efficient the industry becomes for example , the hospitals in the UK became significantly less efficient in terms of beds occupied at any given time when healthcare was nationalized . It ' s entirely possible that the government completely taking over the food industry for lowincome people will result in not being able to provide enough food .
