Food Inflation 'Monster' Coming, Experts Warn
Interesting read from the Toronto Star.
"Soaring fuel and grain prices have some economic researchers warning of catastrophic food inflation and political unrest within a year, the likes of which hasn't been seen in Canada since the 1970s."
Basically, the blame lies with land being used to grow crops for biofuel and the "burgeoning Asian middle class and its hunger for meat and products that use more energy."
I suppose it's good I'm already 75% vegetarian. Time to stock up the pantry.
