______. In fact, most of our food exports go to the wealthier areas--- Europe, Japan and Canada. We currently ship three times more agricultural exports to Europe than to Latin America and Africa combined. Of the ten leading U.S. agricultural exports, four-hides, tallow, cotton, and tobacco are not edible at all, and of the remaining six, only two are high in protein--- nonfat dry milk and soybean. Most of the soybeans go to Japan, Western Europe and Canada, where they are fed to livestock. As for the one million tons of protein imported annually by the rich nations from the poor nations, much, if not most of it comes from the soil of the underdeveloped world and goes into the mouths of European livestock in the form of high-protein seed meals.
America’s exports and imports are not balanced.
B. While America absorbs protein from underdeveloped countries, it does not return it as protein-rich food.
