Friday Food for Thought: Rising Food Prices

Have you noticed your grocery bill creeping up on you?  Along with rising fuel prices, the cost of food has been steadily increasing worldwide as well.  This article from the New York Times talks about some of the causes- increased demand for both food and biofuels, political unrest, and even global warming, to name a few.
