The current food prices are putting a strain on families for sure, we can all agree on that. In the long term, we might see even worse outcomes. Some people might not have a choice, they are buying less healthy foods because of the costs. The longer term health of people will definitely decrease as they are forced to consume less healthy foods. Could lead to an increased load on our health care system.

Or maybe we just need OPEC to open their taps again and flood the market with cheap oil and ergo cheap fuel and transportation costs. I wouldn’t mind 60 cent/litre gasoline again.
