No food? Think again

They say there is a looming world food crisis. Food prices are going to soar due to lack of supply. This piece shows the Canadian government offering money for farmers to slay their pigs - in an effort to suppress supply and increase prices.
EDMONTON —In what is being called an unprecedented move, the federal government will pay Canadian pork producers $50 million to kill off 150,000 of their pigs by the fall as the industry teeters on the brink of economic collapse....Those who qualify for payments must agree to kill off an entire breeding barn of pigs and not to restock the barn for three years.


Maybe people prefer to eat rice than pork.
