We have the extra food that we can afford to throw 8000lbs of food away. We also grow so much extra grain and corn we feed large areas of the world. Our breadbasket, so to speak, feeds more countries starving mouths than any other.

This seems to be really odd. Seeing as the U.S. does not actually grow enought food to feed their population. There is a lot of food imported into the states simply so that they will have enough to feed everyone, if you do some research(outside of U.S. goverment sources) I'm sure that you will find this out easily. The reason that the U.S. can donate so much to other nations is that it is simply money being used to import more, and send it.
