I was watching the news and they were talking about how the price of food is going to sky rocket. This is scary to me. Because what happens to the poor to middle class that are in a catch 22...they make enough not to get food stamps, but are living check to check....and barely getting buy? I am having a hard time wondering why gas and food prices are sky rocketing....you would think that with th war that they would be cheaper. The UN is already showing some concerns. Talking about rationing food. The UN is warning of a food shortage crisis and drawing up plans for food rations which will hit even middle-class suburban populations as inflation and economic uncertainty causes the prices of staple food commodities to skyrocket.Full Article

Some say food prices will skyrocket because of farmers who plant wheat are tuning to corn for ethonal. but then I've heard that if all the farmers in the world grew corn, it still wouldn't produce enough to cover our usage of oil. Personally I think we should be loking at viable renewable resorces.
As for oil, I think it's just greed.

Well speaking from a farming view point, I do not see farmers moving away from Wheat, right not they are at a all time high...and it looks like it is getting higher...the only problem is, the cost of fuel to tractor these fields is outrages.....
I blame it all on BUSH.
