I still think its more, Just ask the poor Mexicans who struggle to afford their staple tortillas made from US corn , As the seeding, plouging and harvesting and irrigation, transport equipment all runs of diesel, which price is rapidly increasing. Or Indonesians who cant afford cooking oil , but their government will supply troops to guard and chauffer the haliburton employees around, while the company takes vast wealth in the way of oil and gas out of the country. Not to mention straining land and water supplies for food farming.
Or is the problem that there are people in the world who cant afford food, especially bad as the majority of food production relies on diesel, which is rapidly increasing in cost?
