you can't believe how much i wish that were true. but i'm in the aide business and know first hand how false this belief is. Western industrial agriculture not only destroys local agricultural enconomies in the most impoverish areas but then it also doesn't even come close to feeding people sufficiently.

the only way to make money off of corn (and soy) in the current system is to make "value-added" products- like Coke, and Dorritos, and HFCS... these aren't the things that go to starving people. you only have to look at the fact that people are still starving all over the world every day and that you can now buy cat litter made of corn to see that the system does not do what it claims.
