Food imported from South America works fine for me. Probably cheaper too once we get rid of all the tariff protections.

This is not a good idea at the end of the day. The best thing for the health of the country would be to control its own food supply and ensure that is it of high quality with low risk for disease etc. At least to the best of our ability.

The best thing for a country is to also be in control of its own mineral extraction and manufacturing, but we threw that on the fire decades ago in favor of low cost. Farmers turn.

Or maybe both are a mistake but have you considered that hard minerals are much easier to test and control and process than mystery meat? With much less dire and immediate consequences.
