I'd rather know the producer of the stuff is getting his costs and a decent living. He'll be there when we want him. It's still cheap, our food costs are very low compared to some places. The reasons the Americans were and still are bitching is because they over produce massively and as a result prices are depressed below production costs. Farms are being forced out of business. Their answer is that they need a bigger market. American Imperialism at it's rawest.
