Some of the price inflation of food stuffs can be attributed to rising gas prices. The cost of shipping food overseas or by truck has gone up--even supplemented by Ethanol, which is more expensive to refine in the first place and places undue pressure on the corn industry, which in turn pressures dairy, beef/pork/poultry, and pretty much any other industry that has any reliance on corn at all, which further inflates prices.
Best way to help (not 'solve', notice) the problem of food prices is to go down to Saudi Arabia and kick some of those oil-hording butts back into line, if ya ask me >_< . Better yet, allow American companies to drill in Texas and Alaska!
Even better than that, having a "closed circuit" for goods manufacture and disposal would make a lot of things a lot cheaper. I'm talking about recycling. Not that recycling is free... But it should save some money, yeah?
