    This won’t become a major headline until people start starving and rioting … until then, it’s just interesting.

      The USA is a major food exporter. The exports get redirected to domestic consumption when there are problems. So unfortunately, it won’t actually make headlines between the emotional kid’s school project, pro police and nostalgic nationalism, there is simply no room left in the broadcast without edging out billionaire agenda pieces.

    Meanwhile the “green” crowd bought right in to the whole “no GMO” bullshit which, like “organic food” is nothing but a marketing ploy designed to separate them from more of their money, and have set a field that could literally keep the world fed through this crisis, back significantly, if on reputation alone. All while sitting on their high horse and feeling like they are the ones saving the environment.

    Just one more reason why education is so important (and why we deliberately get such a poor standard of it).
