Most of what is farmed in Mississippi and the rest of the country isn’t food that goes on Americans’ tables. It is soybeans grown for animal feed, corn grown for ethanol, rice grown to export to Central America and so on. The fruits and vegetables that Mississippians eat are probably grown in California or in other countries.
The rice from cali isn’t so bad, neither is the rice from India or Vietnam and you can perhaps buy rice imported from there, but of course the good stuff is more expensive.
Nobody wrote an easy to read pamphlet about this in 1847 and called it The Communist Manifesto.
