I’d rather there be so much food it’s worthless than what we have now.
You’re not wrong, but when food is worthless there’s no reason to grow it. Farms cost money to run. Now a solution could be to nationalize or subsidize farms completely so that the tax dollars put into them directly lower the cost of food, but that ain’t happening.

Wouldn’t it even itself out
Probably not, but it’s better than subsidizing farmers to not sell stuff and crash the market. That’s just doubling down on waste.
