The Lard of the Land

The Food Supply will Change

"Rice prices are climbing worldwide. Butter prices in Europe have spiked by 40 per cent in the past year. Wheat futures are trading at their highest level for a decade. Global soybean prices have risen by a half. Pork prices in China are up 20 per cent on last year and the food price index in India was up by 11 per cent year on year. In Mexico there have been riots in response to a 60 per cent rise in the cost of tortillas."

What this really means for us is that economics is coming back into play. Maybe this is the best thing for our obesity problem. Life in this universe wasn't designed. It comes through struggle against the continual oncoming rush of entropy in the universe. Change is the only real constant. Maybe we should eat a little less. Maybe we should save some of that food for a meal later on. Maybe we should be a little more mindful.
