They make it sound like bread is all they eat. What about rice, oats, corn, meat, dairy, and other plant and animal products. This sounds like the potato famine in Ireland.

In another 56 years in 2066,the population of Egypt will be doubled to164

millions,so,how would they feed the exploding population? the only solution is birth control (like it was in China1 kid per family),

but Muslims will not follow it(they rather eat stones than use contraseptives...)

they have12 kids per family,and if men can have 4 wives it will be 82X4, their government should limit it to 1 wife only (but,their religion would not allow)if not people will kill one another

At least Mubarak uses the army bakeries to bake and distribute bread to it's people!

I can't believe that the inspector is using a copybook instead of computer in the 21st century......

Egypt is not the only Muslim country who suffers from lack of bread; Yemen, Jordan, Syria, Iran and more, because their governments are using the money to buy arms instead of bread!

when i left Egypt 1964 there were 28 million people, now 82 million, if many of you have 4 wives and bread so many how do you expect to feed your children? think with your brain and not with the other head

starve

[fifilafrance]

feeding cattle, making oil out of cereal etc...

Every factor can explain such riots and their consequences... but nobody never quote some simple figures as : " natality rate in egypte : 3,2 child/ per women"...Huge rates of birth are never evoqued or quoted by medias...

Super natality is the Biggest issue of the XXI century. But we don't like the third world to be responsible of anything, do we ? they will never have to answer for anything for we love them as victims of our own villainy?

The financial shockwaves spread by the crisis of US imperialism—the fall of the dollar amid the US mortgage crisis, and the explosion of the world market price of a barrel of oil ($103). Not only are fuel prices affected, but the rise in petroleum prices is pushing up food prices, which are closely dependent on the prices of energy, transport, and fertilizers, the component parts of which are produced from natural gas, the prices of which are in turn heavily affected by oil prices.
