TJ you are dead on with these articles. The food/riot ratio was eye opening given the droughts in the Midwest. We drive from Chicago to way up north WI most weekends. We saw hundreds of fields so drought-stricken the farmers could not water enough from wells to save the food. Lots of corn that never ripened or shriveled is still just standing where by now it would PICKED, HUSKS sold for feed (no nutritional value in these husks) and the rest turned under.
The Midwest in particular had the double whammy of gas prices at or just below $4.00 all summer. In Chicago, only this week did they dip below $4.00. We were paying $3.96 every week; my point being the farmers had no rain, high energy and gas bils all summer.
I suspect everything "food" will go sky high. That means any sodas or drinks that use high fructose corn syrups, all foods that contain corn gluten, or corn flour, dog foods (almost all contain corn products).
