"It’s not just Iowa. There were riots and near riots when ethanol became big in South America and corn/tortillas went up in price. And in Asia when rice went up. And Europe had costs of bread go up (but not the riots in Europe). People all over the world have little money and even without famine the increase in price of basic foods can cause people to starve." I read a couple years ago that the average Nigerian spent 80% of their income on food.
More recently I read that the average is down to 60% there.
Isn't Nigeria one of the richer countries there?
