Seen an article on Bloomberg Businessweek. Speculations are a damn reason why the prices are increasing and people have to be hungry :(.

Look at the food price index: http://www.fao.org/worldfoodsituation/wfs-home/foodpricesindex/en/

Most of the variability is due speculations! That's the real garbage :)

Maybe the easy Fed policy of Zero interest rates causing inflation and eroding purchasing power of the consumer. Speculators always been around for commodities like corn, wheat, soybeans, it sounds like marxist garbage.
