RE: We are talking about food here. You can't rely on overseas production for this basic necessity.

Second. I think food commodities are way to cheap, both here as in the US. They should at least charge the double for every
food product.

You can and many places do rely on overseas production of basic necessities. Besides even without subsides Europe would grown enough food to feed itself.
Why should food be more expensive? I think what should be charged is a rate determined by a free market (which would usually be less then the current distorted price). Why artifically raise prices?
