Subject: RE: Wheat.



Centre county Pennsylvania, USA
That 56 million bushels of wheat that USDA says US will (probably) ship during next 16 weeks is not enough to make much difference in world's food supply. With 6+ billion human mouths to feed every day on this planet, that 56 million bushels of wheat computes out to 0.56 pounds of wheat, or 0.005 pounds per day, for each of those 6+ billions mouths during that 16 week period.

I'm not familiar with offshore eating habits, but 0.005 pounds (0.08 ounces) of wheat is probably below USDA's recommended minimum daily wheat diet for humans.
