How do cheap imports make domestic food profitable to produce ?? Cheap imports make domestic food production unprofitable because in the presence of cheapo competition, expensive food is hard to sell. The big chains tend to import things that would grow here, from areas like EU and North Africa just because it's so much cheaper. People get blinded by low price and forget about quality. That's a pity because low food quality is very expensive in resulting health costs. The usual externalization of costs with "Free Trade". > Of course the bourgeoisie had to tighten their belts a > smidgen and we can't have that, can we? As usual you ignore the difference between legitimate high price and illegitimate money-making.
