The US also took food security seriously after WW2. Now it's all devolved into HFCS.

Or they exported the good food, because they could get a better price for it.

When i want real quality food for a good price in my own country, i have to go to another country to actually get it.

Again, i can't condemn them for trying to make more profit, but somewhere in the line it gets pretty weird and annoying.
