And yet a large portion of the US population is hungry. 20% of children are food insecure in the US. A change in prices could still disrupt a lot of people's lives. This is mostly because we distribute high quality food poorly to people. The US is not designed or prepared for any food supply disruptions. An example is during early months of COVID store shelves became empty for flour, sugar and other staples. It would take about 4 days of disruption to create a food shortage in the US because it's highly centralized in distribution and production.
