Excerpt from article:

"Almost a quarter of this year’s US corn crop is expected to be turned into
fuel. Drought in Australia has added to the food prices spike, which is
feeding through to world inflation."

I swear to Gawd I'd be much happier if we went back to the horse and buggy

I could not agree more. I bet those were much easier times to live.
Now we have cereal aisles with ten thousand different cereals. When I
was a kid there was Kellogs Frosted Flakes, Fruit Loops, Shredded
Wheat and Farina! Well, more than that, but certainly not an aisle
full of postured, product placement. It's mind boggling.
