Why is it that every time someone mentions futures trading someone comes along to drop the farmer's crops example, do y'all really have no other examples?

What percentage of futures trading is on farmers crops?

What about the crops they destroy because they would be less profitable? Does the protection against monetary risk outweigh starving people to death?

How well will it work if we create unsustainable land that the farmers can no longer grow crops on?
