The US is a net exporter of food.
For a US consumer making choices and understanding the impact of what they eat that doesn't matter, what matters is what ends up on the plate. A ton of exports ends up as feed for animals, which can then be re-imported as well.
Still, agriculture is a big player no matter how you cut it, and your own eating habits are a lot easier to control than overall policy or law changes (and probably even your transportation, given the strong need for cars).
