The food chain, from farmers on down to the grocery store/restaurant is quite energy intensive. As oil prices climb, food has to climb with it.
Drill baby drill!
More “hope and change” setting in. Fundamental Transformation can be a real biatch when your going from capitalism to communism.

Good one.
The food prices are OUT OF CONTROL!
