Communist government clears way for first U.S. food and agricultural trade fair in Cuba

HAVANA - (AP) -- Now that U.S. food shipments are arriving regularly in Cuba, the communist government has agreed to let an American company arrange an exposition here this fall that could whet appetites for more U.S. fruits, grains and other foods.

Well, food, generally. Or just about anything. Expired meat, moldy bread, grease trap drippings, dog food, Korean War Surplus MREs, roadkill... I wondered why our government would allow this, then I read down and remembered to follow the money:

They include several firms that have recently sold food to Cuba, such as Archer Daniels Midland Co., of Illinois, which PWN Exhibicon says will be a sponsor.

Bingo! ADM is involved, of course. ADM is always involved. If I believed in conspiracy theories, I'd check and see if Lee Harvey Oswald had connections there.
