Food inflation and scarcity: another blogger weighs in
I've annoyed some readers by harping on about likely food shortages and even famines (although I think the latter will be more in the Third World than the First World - but that's not guaranteed). I wrote two lengthy articles on the subject last week, and they're still attracting more readers than usual. I hope people are listening. I also mentioned inflation yesterday, and noted that the true inflation figure was much, much higher than the "official" number. That, of course, has a direct bearing on food prices. Yesterday, The Intrepid Reporter took a long, hard look at goo... read more
