Mkm,
Please… it is a serious matter…no doubt about it…money is involved (and anything involving money is a serious matter these days) but panic will not solve it, nor will remorse/sorrow and sorry neither will prayer…what will solve it? … INVESTMENT Quote:

If you took the time to actually read what I wrote…you would have been able to pick out a solution to the current problem (shorting oil…is the easiest way to reduce its speculative glazed price, immediately, and in turn reduce the price of grain)
For someone so adament about solutions, what ideas have you purposed so far?

its a cycle.
It is scientifically and historically a bankrupt statement, good for amusement only.

Inflationary pressures drive up food prices throughout history in cycles…this is just another cycle.
Market cycles are sociological, economical and historical facts no matter how cold hearted and morally bankrupt they sound. Food shortages are no different…an ever abundant supply of food since the green revolution in the 60’s has led to large unsustainable population growths (just to give a figure…population has more than DOUBLED since 1960 not to mention that per energy capita consumption of the average human has also gone up…so all this should come as little surprise). And if this sounds too Malthusian…you can add more detail and push around semantic rhetoric but the outcome of the debate will just leave us with the cold facts that people generally prefer to ignore in times of difficulty.
Let the market decide what to do next…it is, from what I hear….a self correcting entity.
Peace and please,
Enjoy the ride
