Acer answered this question well - "cash crops" are generally not used to feed people. They are high volume monocultures grown for animal feed or industrial purposes. You see a lot of bio-diesel corn around here.
But cash cropping is not the problem here. Essentially all of the food we eat is grown as cash crops.
