I am among the fortunate few who still can afford to feed myself and my family. I'm not sure that will always be the case. The price increases and food shortages are accelerating.
Some finally are starting to worry about foreign ownership of US farmland:

I personally attended a briefing at which a former Deputy Director of the CIA stated the greatest threat to US national security is foreign ownership of US assets. That was over 10 years ago, and the situation has deteriorated even more since then.
In a former life, I evaluated air pollution permits for a state environmental agency. One of the things I noticed is that facilities for the export of US grain were being greatly expanded to allow faster transfer of such vital foodstuffs. I'm not sure where it all goes, but I would guess the Chinese are the biggest buyers, since they now have all the money.
In our economy, food and other resources go to the highest bidder. "Our" government could step in to make certain we are fed first, but it seems reluctant to do so. And with China Joe running the show, we might expect him and son Hunter to be somewhere in the pipeline which sends our food to China while US children go hungry. Do they even care about us? I doubt it.
What a country !!!

Here is additional discussion:

China appears to be genuinely interested in the welfare of its citizens, while the US clearly does not give a damn about theirs. So, who's the "evil empire" now?
Update - 7/26/2021
And if China is truly our new "enemy", then why are we allowing them to buy strategic assets within our country?

"Homeland Security" is a sick joke. It allows "our" government to spy on us endlessly without providing ANYTHING in return which looks like security for We the People.
