No I am not joking. There is an abundance of food on this planet being produced everyday.

Natural disasters do happen and play their part, but that fails to account for the increased role that speculation has been playing in these markets. It is well documented and that's why the G20 put it on their agenda 18 months back. But it has fallen off the radar and food prices are continuing to spike.

There is plenty of food out there.
