Surging Costs Hit Food Security in Poorer Nations

[k0xxx]

A link to an interesting story on food prices. While the U.S. is the richest nation on earth, the increase in food prices and the continuing economic decline will begin to take their toll on us. This is especially true when you start to realize just how much of our best farm lands are being lost to development.

Really sad to me is the fact that a bag of grapes or apples costs more than a stupid happy meal! That is so sad!



Money for us just got tighter, and I bought groceries yesterday paying real close attention to the price of things, and its so sad that the crappy processed junk is so much cheaper than food just pulled from the ground or picked!

cost of "life to live" has increased terribly not only in the true cash cost, but in the health benefits etc. that is related to this "wonderful new era" of living


hmmmm ya think as we "grow" we would get smarter to me it seems we get dummer by the moment ugh
