Really? It is conventional wisdom that the United States is a huge exporter of food to the world. Do you have any data that shows something else?

Sure.

Try the Center for North American Studies (CNAS) at Texas A&M. They have a paper and a powerpoint slideshow compiled for the Millennium Summit that is most instructive. The data is about four years old and the situation has worsened considerably since then. Tyson, for example, is moving big operations in both chicken and aquaculture to Argentina. Also, be careful when you read it to understand what I meant. I said FOOD. That doesn't include catfish or tobacco, for example.
