It's not an anomaly, your overpriced energy wet dream will make people poorer for precisely this reason.

 

[Old Rocks]

And that flooded Pakistan and Australia? Caused the heat waves in Russia, Argentina, and Uraguay? How many agriculteral disasters can the world have before there is mass starvation? Not many more.

It is called the recovery. And yes it is pretty much an anomoly.

What does the increase in the cost of a gallon of diesel fuel that makes your food more expensive have to do with Austrailia?

Global market, old boy. You are competeing with the Chinese, Europeans, and everybody else for the wheat that goes into your bread. So when agriculture in one area is destroyed, whether by flood or drought, there is less available for an existing demand. So the price goes up. Basic demand and supply.

As for the price of diesel, see Huberts Peak Oil.

 

[Revere]

Imagine how much more expensive food will be if and when gas is $5/gallon.

We've been doing that since the 70's... But anyway... Shouldn't the free market simply produce more corn and return prices to market clearing level?

Ahh.. So it is just another government conspiracy... Keeping food supplies low and prices high, simply because they hate us.

All real poverty in the world stems from the conduct of governments.

Ethanol and cap and trade are more of the same.
