From the article: "At over 17 million tons of food, Los Angeles County received more food than any other county in 2012, our study year. It shipped out even more: 22 million tons." I think that statement is backwards. The graphic shows Los Angeles with an OUTFLOW of 16.6b and an INFLOW of 21.9b.

I wonder if imports from the port of LA are not accounted for here and that is the 5 million ton delta we're seeing.
