Sorry about the above..Food prices have been rising for some time. I find that things that used to be cheap are now very expensive and feeding a family is starting to be a large part of our budget. However, I do not think that we are being realistic when we lay all the blame on big business, supermarkets and farmers, then expect the government to fix it all. A lot of our current global problem in terms of food supply is simply commuters vs. food. It is an uneven contest so long as we in the west continue to confuse convience with nescessity, which we often do. Rather than using farm land AND FOOD TO FUEL CARS, PERHAPS WE SHOULD CONSIDER USING LESS FUEL. lEAVE THE CAR HOME TWO DAYS A WEEK, GET A ROTARY MOWER, SELL THE ATV AND SNOWMOBILE.(sorry about the caps, error, not a shout). We cannot place all the blame on people who give consumers what they want, we have to stop wanting some of them. Just my opinion, but I think we do need to take some responsibilty.
