The main criticism of the Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA) was:

D. Citizens were starving while the government was destroying food.

The AAA aimed to reduce agricultural overproduction by paying farmers to cut back on their crop production, which led to food being destroyed while many people were suffering from hunger during the Great Depression.
