Seriously affecting NZ these farm subsidies. We don't pay our farmers a cent. Time the US subsidised farmers learn to farm - ie: make money off their land not bludge.

Wheat and corn = part of the unhealthy food pyramid designed to sell us food we don't really need. Boycott bread and boxed foods. Learn to garden and cook.

Soy = corporate strangulation of the copra economy putting many pacific islands out of business after the WWII blockade of the Pacific. Basically the coconut oil was cut off, so they grew soy, then it became a US farmer thing, now the world gets inferior cooking oil, the farmers get subsidised, and the people growing healthy oils get screwed into abject poverty despite having a superior product.

And this is typical - screw everyone else, go go usa...
