If your definition is true then you are wrong. The carrying capacity
for the US is much higher than the current population. We feed a large
part of the rest of the world. The US does import lots of luxury foods,
(any fruit or vegetable out of season is a luxury by the way), which
require large amounts of human labor. The foods we produce are those
that can be machine harvested and processed. The difference in labor
cost in Mexico is the only thing that even makes importing fruits and
vegetables remotely possible.
