Food Crisis
Apparantly a food crisis will soon be upon us. "The days of cheap food are over," so they say.
There has been a fair bit of this, but to my knowledge there has not been any serious consideration of what the impact of this will be.
To my mind, one of the most obvious implications of this is that obesity will rise and general health will go down, putting greater strain on the NHS.
Greater food prices = fatter people
Oh, it seems like it should be a paradox! Why isn't it a paradox!
