But the US probably is more than capable of feeding a healthy diet to US population.

I don't believe that. Go to most restaurants and you will find starches on top of starches, a respectable portion of meat coated in more starches, and the occasional sliver of vegetable, not more than a garnish. The recommended five to ten servings of fresh veggies a day per person would take a lot of land, tending, and transportation plus it's time critical. It's cheap and easy to turn out wheat flour and corn meal.
