Dittos.

Smoking bans will go away as politicians try to make happy the people that will hit the streets in food riots.

The US produces half of the world's corn,to meet the ethenol goals passed by congress, every kernel of it would have to be distilled and none go into food or food for the animals we eat.

Appeasement by lawmakers is an age-old tactic.

Food Fight

by Sallie James, policy analyst, Center for Trade Policy Studies, Cato Institute

The Bureau of Labor Statistics recently confirmed what shoppers have been noticing for months: the price of food is increasing at an unusually rapid rate. And failed government policies—supporting domestic farmers through restrictions on cheaper imports and stimulating demand for corn-fed ethanol—are adding to consumers’ woes.

Paying More for Food

During the calendar year 2007, food prices in the United States increased by 4.9 percent, with especially marked hikes for staples such as milk, cheese and bread (see Table 1). That was higher than the overall inflation rate for urban consumers (the CPI-U) of 4.1 percent over the year to December 2007 and much higher than the 2.1 percent increase in food prices in 2006.[1] In other words, food prices are rising more quickly than consumer prices overall, and more quickly than in the previous year. In the seven years 2000 to 2006, food prices increased by a comparatively modest average of 2.5 percent a year.

Time to start oiling the shotgun!!

Turning Food in to Fuel has got to be the Stupidest thing ever concocted.....and we subsidize the process too

Hold onto yer hats - food prices haven't plateaued yet....and grocery stores are 'eating' much of the increase right now....get ready for some heavy duty cost increases this year.

It's not going to be pretty.
