In Haiti and other countries, years of importing U.S. grain at prices below the cost of growing it locally, forced local farmers out of business and the local farm land changed ownership.
Then, one day, oil prices went up, gas prices followed, and then the cost of shipping grain overseas went up.
Suddenly, there’s nobody to locally grow cheaper crops, and the land is no longer owned by farmers.
Massive propaganda is being put out by the oil companies to blame Ethanol for the cost of corn while people are mostly complaining about the cost of rice.
This is what years of donating food has done to other countries. It has forced people into a state of dependence by making it impossible for them to grow their own food, and now we are starving them.
