Talking about farmers feeding the world is crazy.  What other business thinks
about this.  Do car companies say, "We want to produce cars for everyone"? 
No, they say how much can we make.  Farmers need to start thinking about
making money instead of feeding the world.  Acutally, farming is not really a
business.  No business can last for long if it buys for retail and sales for
less than wholesale.

If Government interferance hadn't made it nigh unto impossible for
family farms to compete, they would be.

Ray, with family members with farms, and ranches, up North, where land
is still relatively cheap.

Socialists at work. Family farms don't feed as many people as
government subsidized(i.e.bailedout) corporate farms do...best just let
the messianic government operate and work the land in the future. It is
for the benefit of all...spreading the wealth, you know.

Calling the instant ramen noodles of cheap cuisine fare 'pasta' is like
calling spam just another cut of meat. It is like putting instant tea in the
same
category as estate Darjeeling.

There is such a thing as real ramen noodles. They are made of wheat or
buckwheat flour, eggs, and are moistend with a special type of mineral water
(called 'kansui') so that carbon dioxide is driven off when they are cooked
and they
fluff up.

What you are eating in the cheapie packages is no such thing. It is
industrial waste and slag starch that is partially gelatinized and pressed
through
dies to give something that limps instantly in water and sort of vaguely
resembles pasta so long as you aren't looking too closely. Chemially they
are the
same thing as those packing peanuts.

It's not a convenient source of pasta, it's a convenient source of
gelatainized industrial starch waste products. And it tastes like it too.

Bon apetite!
