You're gonna want to repost this in English at some point.

 

LOL!!



I'm going to be growing my own grains. I buy healthy white wheat, and I have plenty of wheat in reserve. Push comes to shove, I will simply make (perhaps even sell) my own.

 

if i read right, basically, grain and wheat prices are going up. hey, that's supply and demand for you. "an era of cheap food ends" is a bit o' the old hyperbole if you ask me. omg, "peak wheat"!

 

You think it's bad now just wait until the Ogallala aquifer is depleted.

 

I happen to live right on top of that aquifer:thumb: I agree, if that happens, we're in deep crapollas.

 

The way I see it, articles such as this are an indication that the peak of price increases is near (or, in fact, may have already passed).

 

An era of cheap food may be drawing to a close

Not if you grown your own! Which it what all of us should be aiming for in my opinion.

 

Does this mean people wont be able to afford sitting in front of their computers shoveling 10 pounds of doritos into their fat faces anymore??

 

Yes, they're down to 5 lbs of Doritos now, but they're being washed down with liters of high fructose "energy" drinks. Which IMHO are real scourge of modern life, the last thing a teen (or anyone else) needs on a daily basis.

/personal rant over

 

That actually started when the bubbleheads in Washington mandated more ethanol production. That made alcohol more lucrative than corn. When there's less corn, thousands of things get more expensive. There were even riots in Mexico over it.

 

well we use to stuff lots of doritos in our fat faces but now they are sort of too costly.i do other alternative things maybe healthier and maybe not.we will have to go to cheaper ways.in the 70s i guess coffee was really costly then too.i never knew cause i was roasting soybeans and grinding soy beans to make soffee.
it soybeans are so high now and coffee is...i may have to go gather acorns or chicory roots.that stuff grows everywhere.
theres just maybe more healthier alternatives to the norm that is not so good for us anyway.maybe in all of this,me and the ole fellow will loose a pound or two.

 

You can make a coffee substitute from acorns? We must have 100 lbs of them on the ground right now. To the Google....

 

Not many people left who think the MSNBC cheerleaders have any credibility, any more......and anyone who hasn't realized that food prices are increasing must be living in a cave in the wilderness.

 

There is a holly bush, I don't remember the latin name, but it's a weeping holly bush the you grind up the leaves and twigs and brew like coffee. It contains a heaping helping of caffeine. I believe this is the one: Ilex vomitoria pendula

 

Does chicory root contain caffine? I also read somewhere how you can grind up cattail roots as a coffee substitute.

 

Roasted dandelion is good substitute mixed with roasted chicory.

 

why not just stop drinking coffee ? its expensive, it only serves to "hyper" people and make them loose their energy ( in being hyper and stressed)

as for grains and alcool its because its being diluted into petrol ... yep commonly know as GAS !

its also possible this inflation of price is just the devaluation of the US currency

 

If the world prices of food go up, is that not a good thing for the US economy, given that the US is a net exporter of food?

 

The price on this stuff would go down if we all stopped buying so much of it...

 

how to make acorn coffee.
no chicory does not have caffeine but the do add it to regular coffee to sort of mellow out the coffee some.
yes.we stopped drinking coffee for alot of years.since i love the stuff and love it strong.i am not looking forward to quitting cause i get such a horrid headache for days.but tea is cheap.and u can always have dried leaves from here and there to have a good hot drink.u can pick Camomile.its everywhere.

 

Ethanol from corn, the stupidest idea on the planet. Except for white liquor of course

 

Crutch,
You mean "Beet Sugar" not Beat Sugar. Just clarifying in case others might be confused.
