HINT: It’s not actually in our national interest to have the government pass a program like has been suggested. How about citizens do for themselves what they should do and the government do the things its explicitly charged to do? People can and do buy their own food you know.

Yes they do. However, if the dollar continues its slide and foreign purchasers continue to drive up the price, what happens when the food is unaffordable for U.S. citizens?

Keep in mind that I mostly agree with you. This is a problem of OUR (gov't) making, with idiotic, market-bending policies.

That being said, if the gov't were to fix its policies (mostly through cancellation), we might STILL have problems with affordability for a year or more. Not a comforting thought.
