This one nutter is claiming that horrible westerners buy food from Bolivian farmers so now the farmers can’t afford to eat it…

It’s a thing that actually happened and was documented in the media, but I guess facts are too scary for you.

The food fad that’s starving Bolivia

I so enjoy when people don’t even read the article and make ridiculous strawmen that have nothing to do with the claims being made.

the quinoa article is from 2011

this npr article is from 2016. there absolutely is a horrendous issue with the way food is exported and sold for profit overseas, this article is worth reading
