Just go look at the poorer nations, their leaders don't have a problem with food, nor do the elitists in India, but when 5% of the world is controlling the distribution of food, there is something wrong. In India, you'll see food just rotting in warehouses, the same in America...everywhere it is the same: the wealthy don't care, and the poor suffer. As long at the top are taken care of, the rest don't matter. <BR/><BR/>Another thing, we could stop consuming so much meat and start planting other crops in the place of the corn we use to feed the current warehouse cow stock. Seriously, we don't need as much meat as we consume here in the west...just some thoughts.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the rambling.D.

I doubt it!<BR/><BR/>But the world food shortage is real. It is partly due to the US policy of converting maise for biofuel but it is mainly an increasingly wealthy world slowly moving to a higher meat diet. When the demand is slightly greater than supply and reserves are so tight, sharp price increases are the result. Things will balance out in the longer term but in the meantime I guess it is 2 pieces of cheese per foot-long. Expect that foot-long to cost you more too!Stephenwww.shandinglu.orgnoreply@blogger.com
