The era of cheap food is over

I think that we're in for a period of sustained price inflation for food. Or at least, that's apparently what I think.
Mark Hill, food and agriculture partner at the firm, warned that rising demand for wheat and maize was bound to result in increases in the price of staple foods for British consumers.

In all seriousness, on this one I agree with Fidel Castro (and that, really, never happens.) We should be using food to feed people, and other things to generate power. It is ridiculous to starve the poor in the world so that we can run our cars cheaper.
