Econbrowser: Shouldn't the rapidly rising price of food be a campaign issue?
The Opinion Mill's Sunday Bookchat: Instead of moving from left to right and getting dumber, Kevin Phillips moved from right to left -- and his books got even more valuable. Let Phillips show you how America became a land of bad debt and worse religion, while Haifa Zangana shows you how Baghdad became a city of widows and Lynn Hunt explains how fiction set the stage for human rights.
Why should there be a check on the government?
Let them pay their own way.
Thanks for helping to get this story out. I think it's also important to point out that as we inflict the standard American diet on other countries (heavy on animal products), things will get worse and worse.f
Cycling grain through animals is highly inefficient and results in less food calories than it takes to produce - and a WHOLE LOT of pollution and greenhouse gases.
Already 70% of the grain produced in the USA goes to feed animals. (That's according to the LA Times.) Why aren't we feeding people?

What they don't mention is feeding cattle grain kills them. They have to get them to market in 150 days before death starts from grain feeding. Americans gluttonous appetite for ground beef (cheap food) keeps the monster churning. By the time this beef hits the market a patty is 70% FAT and 30% lean meat.

Naw. People might become too alarmed and start agitating and actually planning ahead. The Halliburton concentration camps aren't quite ready yet for all of us yet and Blackwater probably hasn't gotten enough training to keep the civil unrest under control.
The ministry of propaganda still has some tweaking to do before they allow the MSM to drop the grim reality of the food price bomb.

I stopped eating this stuff 20 years ago and I've never had a weight problem and am the same weight I was when I was 25.
The main problem is I go to the store to buy clothing and everything is "Super size" or "X-Large" or one size fits all.
How much recycled animal protein gets fed to cattle in the US !
That to anybody who vaguely follows the global food industry is a big concern.

So what effect does feeding corn syrup (in almost every industrial food product) to people have !!!!!!!!!!?
