It's the 1930s all over again. Farmers destroying products they can't bring to market while other Americans go hungry. https://twitter.com/AdamSerwer/status/1248750060680216577

1933 Wisconsin Milk Strike.

Didn't expect this to get so much traction. I feel obligated to point out that even in non-pandemic times there is an outrageous amount of food that gets wasted in the US. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/apr/18/americans-waste-food-fruit-vegetables-study

And tens of millions of Americans, even in non-pandemic times, struggle to put food on the table. https://www.feedingamerica.org/about-us/press-room/new-data

So while the contrast between producers destroying food while tens of millions of people go hungry is especially noticeable and extreme right now, this is just an exaggerated version of the normal state of affairs in 21st Century America. https://www.feedingamerica.org/about-us/press-room/new-data
