“He wants people who actually pay for their own food to pay a LOT more,”
That’s something people better wake up to.
The belief is Americans have too much food at cheap prices so Americans waste food, denying the rest of the world food.
I believe the idea is “Sufficient Food” will be pushed as a universal right by the UN, and “food taxes” will be leveled against the food producing countries.
Something along the line of for every 10 tons of food produced, 1 ton will go to the UN to distribute to “needy” countries.
Thus destroying the indigenous agrarian economies of said "needy" countries. I read a good article the other day (I think it was from Sultan Knish) about the "Aid Economies" of some African countries (it's not limited to Africa). Dumping tons of free food on these countries are wiping the farmers out.
Ethiopia used to be a net exporter of food, until the government started employing selective famine to control the population. The photos of starving people went out, and huge amounts of food were shipped in, wiping out the entire agricultural sector of the economy.
