Lord I hope Obama means it when he says this.

That's great. Subsidized food is such a bad thing for poor people around the world and even people in the subsidized country.

When it keeps the Poor poor due to a lack of Fair competition. Yes, it is bad. The US does not Subsidize its' Food for Altruistic reasons, but for Selfish reasons that ends up hurting their competition. They are, however, not alone in doing that.

I know, they all do that. In Europe it's a bigger problem and it's hurting Africa a lot.

Agreed, farm subsidies really irritates me to no end. The third world would proper much more if it wasn't for our agricultural protectionism
