I'm trying to convince my husband that we need a few chickens. If you start to hear roosters crowing, Salty, maybe we live close to each other. I'm in Sheffield, too. My whole backyard is being tilled up for a garden. I refuse to pay prices like that.

I also saw something about this on the news this morning. Corn is also getting to be in short supply as so many farmers are growing it for ethanol instead of consumption. I guess we'll start to see a big rise in the price of corn-based food items as well as pet food, chicken feed, etc.
I could see how the prices could be tough for a large family, but for me I am willing to cut back a little in other areas to eat food that is of a much higher quality and to support our regional economy. And grocery store prices on mass-produced items are only going to keep increasing, as they are tied so closely to the prices of gasoline (for transport) and corn (for the animals' food--which is an unnatural food for cows to eat, BTW).
we live in a land that could feed the world if we wanted to, do you notice all the land that lays unworked? the Government used to pay them to not farm it don't know if they do now or not but you go out here and start growing a lot of stuff and the price begins to fall, that is the cause, make a shortage and then the price rises, they didn't catch onto that until about the 70's, I remember one time there got to be a shortage of jar lids, gonna be a lot of people in hell for lying.

It's all a conspiracy. We in the US seem to have a problem with obesity which causes innumerable health problems. If the food and gas prices rise high enough, we will eat less and start riding our bicycles to work. This will equate to a loss of weight, less release of CO2 emissions and less of a need for for the ridiculous proposal of universal healthcare.

And thousands of man-hours wasted peddling to destinations that took a much shorter time before. I'll just be taking the subway, as usual.
