I think this is a seriously important thread. As populations grow, as arable land is taken out of agriculture and as staple grains are used for more and more non-food purposes we'll keep seeing food prices spike. An irony is that as food is used for fuel (as noted above) food prices go up. And fuel prices, using these foods as additives, go up causing the transportation of food to also go up. I'd call that a real double whammy.
