Food prices are soaring !

Commodity Prices are soaring !

Many people are starving

Yet we are closing meat works all over the place.

And we are looking at buying lambs from South America !

And the govmint plans to invest billions in food technology.

It seems to me that people do not want or cannot afford to buy the food we make !

And if they do, then they have tariffs on it to protect their farmers.

And the polititians will tell you that inflation is below 2% and food prices have not gone up..
