Well yes, we're the richest country in the world, of course we import food, why wouldn't we?

But we can easily feed our entire population off our own agricultural production, and well.

Google leads me to this link.

This has taught me nothing new. We produce and export positively enormous amounts of food, we also buy a lot of it.

My point remains: that last part is completely optional because this country is food sufficient. If world trade were to shut off, and America could neither export nor import food, many millions of people would starve to death.

But none of them Americans.

The link explains we import food and do so at a growing rate becasue there is demand for food that can't be grow year round in the US.
