why globalization is some how a great framework for producing food. Every country should be producing and selling food for their own country. People living in extreme poverty growing bananas for below real market share any market share for the USA when they themselves are starving is criminal. Meanwhile we have domestic farmers who can't make a living unless they're selling a crop we don't need or are a huge corporate farm getting billions in subsidies. What does the consumer get? Science fiction food that taste like anything except what its suppose to be.
