Yes oil is food and now that the corn subsidies are once again renewed, ethanol that is being pushed for oil replacement from corn is impacting the cost of food at the super market also. From highfructose corn syrup (so unhealthy yet once dirt cheap, also helped to end the sugar industry in this country!) to cereal, tortillias, and cornstarch, you name it there is a large impact.

Here gas prices increased 19 cents in a week. National average for a gallon $2.91, here in Nor Cal $3.19.
