| Hmm, well lets see, Argentina produces 20x the food needed for its own population. I'm sure others in Latin America can do similar if they simply stop producing coffee for the US. Western Europe has literally mountains of food bought by the EU that goes nowhere, if those producing it turned it into useful crops, we could feed ourself. GB can actually feed itself totally as it has one of the most techonologically advanced agricultural industries, despite not having a huge amount of arable land left.
In reality, most of the world can feed itself (Japan being a notable exception), its just the farms produce cash crops that end up in western markets instead, meaning there isn't enough food for their own population. if the US tried to dry up the world, as you think it could, the rest of the world would call a crisis, nationalise those lands and get producing useful stuff.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
