Doesn't the U.S give away a surplus of their own food to Africa?

It actually has a negative effect on their continent, because actual African farmers can't compete against "free" stuff being handed to their nations instead of buying stuff locally.

So destroying U.S crops may sound bad at first, but then consider where they were going to ship it off to anyway.
