Giving to give, not to receive

We reap the fruit of our decisions, agreed?  Let's look at this interesting development in the world's food supply.

America is now a net importer of fruits and vegetables.

What's that mean, besides the fact that if all imports were stopped (they won't) the U.S. would find fruit and veggie prices skyrocket (won't happen either)?

It means American dollars are being spent internationally on things valued more than fruits and vegetables.  That's hard to imagine, right?  All the unhealthy childhoods...

Additionally, what do we learn from this?  Should we be investing in "food?"  To make gobs of money, no.  To make a significant impact, not unless you have millions.  To be a good steward of the money God's given you, perhaps if you can follow the money and ensure accountable use.  Ultimately, we learn that there was a time for the U.S. and still remains a time for many 2/3rds world countries where food is a family rarity.  People need more of it, and they won't get it without other people giving more than their "fair-share."  Christians should understand this principle as it relates to tithing, offering, and giving:

So now finish doing it as well, so that your readiness in desiring it may be matched by your completing it out of what you have. For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have. For I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened, but that as a matter of fairness your abundance at the present time should supply their need, so that their abundance may supply your need, that there may be fairness. As it is written, “Whoever gathered much had nothing left over, and whoever gathered little had no lack.”
(2 Corinthians 8:11-15 ESV; emphasis mine)
