Just pointing out that independent farmers throw out food that is unprofitable to sell. It’s not like they’re greedy or something. When there’s a lot of food transportation costs mean you can lose money sending your food to market.

In that case no people are starving because food prices are very low. The problem in the Great Depression was that the conservative government didn’t want to intervene in the market and buy up the cheap food, so people did starve. This is part of the reason why conservatives lost power for twenty years.
