This is not true. It is not even truthy. It is just plain untrue.

There are a great many countries in the world which fed (and feed) themselves very well—and the US has vastly more arable land per capita than any of them.

Large scale industrial production of food—mainly processed food—is a phenomenon almost unique to the US. The result can be seen in what my nephew calls "the land of the fat people".

Complete bunk legion.
