The US has about 10 times the grain storage capacity of China and, with the harvest just completed, that capacity is full.
It’s nonsense.
American ag can ramp up quicker than anyplace in the world. Grain and meat production have plenty of room for expansion, if needed. And that American ag tech is spreading around the world.
Heck, shoot all the pols in California and food production there could explode.
The danger is that kooky pols and billionaires will artificially restrain expanded production of foodstuffs if it is needed.
Yes. While I don’t trust China or our own government one bit, I also don’t just blindly trust articles like this either.
US also has enough calories stored in obesity to survive some famine if we are wise about it. Feed the thin, including non-obese growing kids and pregnant women. Underfeed the obese. Including cutting EBT payments and other ‘free’ government food to obese “poor” folks. Let the food prices follow the market so higher prices can reduce consumption. Block the inevitable Democrat demand for universal food rationing. Limit government food to those need tested as both thin enough and poor enough. For sufficiently poor fat folks limit support to enough food to keep their dieting healthy.
