Stories are very effective way to communicate.
The author deserves congratulations for her creativity in weaving a powerful story around the food system and cover a lot of content.
I liked the analogy of food system being sick (and making people sick with it), only doing 'calories and cash' and missing out on environment and health.
The reference to 'heart' of the problem is portrayed as corporations and big businesses, I could only agree partially on this. While corporations have made many glaring mistakes, it is mostly their efforts together with the governments which has made the global food markets function more efficiently and the largescale famines and starvations of 19th and early 20th century have practically vanished. Nevertheless, inclusion is a big issue, which needs renewed focus.
The story ends happily, though in reality mending the food system will not be that easy. We all will have to work hard to fix the nut and bolts of the food system.
All in all, a great story !

Growing your own food is like printing your own money, and we should make use of all the empty spaces in cities to promote food justice.
