- bmismyname 4y agoGood point. Another thing is that much of the big AG "food" crops (corn, soy, etc) are used for industrial purposes, such as cattle feed and ethanol.
- nebula8804 4y agoThats tough to quantify. Are all calories equal? Middle America produces federally subsidized commercial corn used for HFCS, feedlots and "bio-fuels". First of all are those calories really "food" compared to what California grows? Maybe only in emergency situations (which is partially why it was subsidized in the first place). Second of all, in this hypothetical situation, you'd have to take away the federal subsidies anyway since the blue states are not paying anymore. How much of middle america goes bankrupt if this happens? Wouldn't that lower the production output numbers?
