Same with corn (surplus corn is the cheapest thing for Americans to
burn in their woodstoves - more than a billion bushels went unused
in
2000), same with lots of things, and the same in all the
industrialized countries. And then, too often, it gets dumped on 3rd
World markets, putting their own farmers out of business and causing
immense distortions all along the line, often ending up with
starving
people at the end of it - as in Southern Africa now, widely blamed
on
the drought, on people like Mugabe, and stuff like Zambia's refusing
to accept GMO food aid, but it's not so.
Why wouldn't the farmer just grow something else, instead of corn.?
Why don't these countries just refuse to import the food?
