Tons of food gets plowed under the ground because there’s so much of it farmers can’t get the prices they want. Tons of cheap food (corn, for instance) is used to create more expensive food (like steak).
因为收成太多，农民无法卖到理想的价格，数以吨计的粮食被埋在地下。成吨的廉价粮食（比如玉米）被充作原料生产售价较高的食品（比如牛排）。大量粮食意味着大量油脂、肉类和糖分，还有卡路里。大量粮食意味着有很多人超重。
