Just about everything is going up in price, not just food. Things like iron, copper and other metals, not to mention oil. 1st generation biofuels certainly play some role in the food price increase, but I think the main reason is the economic boom in China and India and the rising obesity there, though they still have a long way to go to reach our obesity level. Fat people are just bad for the environment, period.
