Answer to Question 1

U.S. consumers demand a wide array of foods, even foods that are not in season in the United States but are being grown in other parts of the world. U.S. consumers also demand low food prices; because farming in the United States is expensive, it can be cheaper to import foods from other countries where the cost of agriculture may be lower.

Answer to Question 2

D
