CNN story about food prices
#19
I think RobL's comment had more to do with global food/commodities markets than shipping costs, in that context his observation has a lot of validity. The more people there are on this planet who eat meat as a staple instead of a condiment, the more grain will be grown to be fed to livestock, then more people (especially the world's poorest who don't eat much meat) will pay much more for the grains that are their subsistence food. This is a global issue that is also impacted by using food grains for fuel.
