"Agricultural economists who've studied food price fluctuations cite
historical trends that show run-ups in farm commodity prices typically happen
in five-year cycles."

I wonder whether these are the same economists who have totally botched
properly assessing the current financial situation :-()

I don't believe that this is some sort of typical "cycle." And I don't
believe anyone here thinks it is either. This is a whole 'nother ballgame...

For what it's worth, I think they're wrong on several counts. I mean, they
can't afford to set off a nationwide panic. Their advertisers wouldn't like
it.

Food price rise could last another two years
Experts say there won't be a food shortage in the U.S., but more consumers
will trade down in their grocery shopping.
