Hey C_O, I thought that the U.N. statistics showed that the U.S. is a net importer of food. Whats with this article?

From what I can see, this article neither affirms nor contradicts that information. It merely addresses how imports have increased their share of our domestic market. (Most likely at the expense of domestic production.)

It would not surprise me, however, to learn that we ARE a net importer of food. On of the goals of globalism is to render America helpless and dependent on foreign sources of production.

Not all ag exports are food. Some are animal feed, tobacco, catfish, etc. To get a food balance requires extracting market specific information. The data I have come from the Center for North American Studies at Texas A&M. It was prepared for the WTO Millennium Summit.
