"Grain prices are rising to their equivalent level in oil" - more from Al Jazeera English on the food crisis

i just finished watching this al jazeera special, ... without a doubt, it's the clearest, most honest look i've yet seen at what's happening with grain, ethanol and the rapidly worsening global food crisis... i highly recommend watching both parts start to finish...
