Global Food Crisis on the Horizon

This is not the first time I've posted on food shortages, and judging from this video it won't be my last either. In fact I've been ranting about this for a few years now and some agree, but some of my more affluent fellow Americans think it's not a big deal, or that I'm not shopping in the right place.

Think back a couple of years - how much has your favorite pizza gone up in price? I know it has to be at least a dollar more, now that cheese has more than doubled since then. And how about if you want your pizza delivered? You don't think they've been adding a surcharge to compensate for the gas prices?

You know that by the time this stuff reached the news outlets, it's already a full-blown issue. Just look how long it took CNN and the others to start making the weak dollar a news story-you would think this is only a year-old crisis, when it's been going on since Bush took office. So by the time cable news reports on the realities of world food shortages, you can be sure it will be too late for many.
