What “Condi” Rice is getting at, is that, yes, Rice and other grain prices are inflamed in part by the segmentation of crops for consumption, and for bio-fuel. It’s a nifty headline also. Thanks Condi.
And what a defining hand jester this is:
I visited costco for my monthly visit. Yeah, rice is really in shortage there. I asked the dude, what’s up with the rice shortage, one of the managers said, “Media scare, got all the customers buying up the rice. Only one in stock is Uncle Ben’s Fortified. We’ll have some other varieties in Tuesday, basmanti, and the such.”
