That thread establishes that Stalin exported agricultural products, it doesn't say that the US businesses were trading directly for grain. The US was probably a net grain exporter at the time, so I think you are not presenting the situation very well. There is certainly complicity in working with an oppressive government that is starving its people, but saying it was done for "cheap food" when USSR was selling the food elsewhere and paying in dollars isn't the right way to present it.
