Food crisis benefits Goldman Sachs

We're in the midst of a global food crisis — the second in three years. It's one factor fueling uprisings and protests in Tunisia, Egypt, and elsewhere. World food prices hit a record in January, driven by huge increases in the prices of wheat, corn, sugar and oils. Contributing Editor for Harper's Magazine Frederick Kaufman warns there's a direct link between the sky rocketing cost of food and Wall Street, particularly Goldman Sachs who own major shares of food commodities.

We as "the people" need to read the Declaration of Independence, it is obvious that the Government has ceased to work for the people. If you read the declaration, it shows that everything that applied then, has and is applying to our situation right now. We need to rid ourselves of our government, and put people in office who believe in what America really is supposed to be. We have moved so far from that, that our Governent is now owned by banks and corporations.

The banksters that are running America behind the scene fund all war & both sides. The Rothschild family are a part of the Federal Reserve & they placed themselves all around the globe. The Federal Reserve is the scourge of the whole planet. I can clearly see that hear in Australia. The whole world should be asking to End The Fed.

And when people stand against the big businesses that steal our government they get chastized by others because of their stand. If you have ever thought your politician was better than someone elses, follow the money trail. Who pays for your politician to get into office. I think most people who don't purposely close their eyes to these things would be shocked to find out home many politicians get their moeny from big business that is stealing our food.

WTF Protien and Milk??How about rice and bread!!

Just read an article that the meat eating habits of Egypt is causing hunger and more grains are diverted to feed cattle and gets converted to meat that the poor cannot buy. Meat.

Meat and dairy(Dairy cattle are also fed grains) cause the hunger.

It is the meat industry that is causing this speculation. They are creating a shortage so that the price goes and the meat industry can afford high prices of grain, poor cannot afford grains nor meat/milk
