Many of the huge farms in America - 1,000's and 1,000's of acres, and heads of cattle, are owned by foreign interests. We are already dependent upon some of those same countries for fossil fuels. Others are from countries from which we import many manufactured goods.
Try not to think too much about it, it's scary! My mom says that Americans live too far from the land - meaning that without going to the store to buy milk, eggs, meat, bread, packaged goods, people don't know how to survive. Oh my gosh, I just realized I'm getting old - I'm starting to think my mother is right :shock:
