Global food prices remain close to a three-year high.
While there has been a slight easing, the bigger picture is clear:
Rising costs of wheat, maize, and sugar combined with supply concerns, energy prices, and geopolitical tensions are putting pressure on the global food system.
At the same time, forecasts of declining cereal production add another layer of uncertainty.
This is not just about prices.
It is about stability, access, and resilience.
Food is becoming a strategic issue that connects energy, climate, and geopolitics.
The challenge ahead is not only to manage costs,
but to strengthen systems that ensure reliable and sustainable food supply.
Because when food systems are under stress,
the impact is felt across economies, societies, and nations.
Stupid politicians sell stupid voters a line of crap and this is what happens. NOBODY can understand how in the world the Federal government can spend SOOO much money!! It's because the dreaded DEEP STATE monitors and regulates all manner of things that the average voter is never aware of and probably could not understand even if made aware.
Americans have been the most protected people to have ever lived, yet we do not appreciate it. We are shielded from all manner of unpleasant and dangerous things by people who do understand those unpleasant and dangerous things. Yet we have the audacity to complain that this is robbing us of some fictional freedom. Swear to Gawd, we are like unruly children who whine and
stomp our feet because Mom makes us stay in the yard and won't let us go play in the swamp or down at the dump
We have officially reached the stage where “we cut the woke government programs” is followed immediately by “why are the flesh-eating larvae back?” This is what happens when billionaires with chainsaws treat public health like a DEI brochure they didn’t read. USAID wasn’t a vibes charity. It was one of the boring little sandbags between civilization and nightmare bugs eating calves from the inside. But sure, let’s save money by deleting the people watching the plagues. Very wise. Very managerial. Pharaoh had frogs. Trump gets screwworms.
Remember that Trump does not care about the farmers or anyone associated, consumers, animals, restaurants already closing at all as long as he can buy a steak somewhere. This is all irrelevant to him and his close associates. Texas and other beef producing states may find out just how little Trump cares.
As it turns out, a good friend of mine worked at USDA in the screwworm program, and was one of those who took early retirement when the DOGE cuts gave him that option. As for USAID, I have figured out that Musk hates it because it took taxpayer money from White people and used it to help people of color, and so he decided that the whole program must be condemned to death.
Aw, you mean DOGE defunded the screw worm police!?
🇨🇦 Canada just banned US beef. We care about our citizens.

Aren’t worms one of RFK jr’s expertise? Let’s send him down to investigate!
It's possible that USAID cuts were made because they actually wanted people to suffer and die. We are talking about a group of wyte supremacists here.
I knew a person in Belize who had one in his neck. He thought it was a boil and only found out differently when a doctor lanced it. Yuck!

I wish he would.
Maladministration 2.0... Derp and stoopid is the value-add. 🤦🏼♂️

“I never thought screw worms would eat MY face…”
Looksmaxxers can use them, no doubt.
It would be Karma for Elon Musk, and members of his DOGE team, to die of New World Screw Worm. Not a pleasant way to die.
well, SpaceX is right on the border there, so they're in the zone for it.
You mean Trump wasn't the flesh-eating screw-worm?

Death to woke cows!
Um, was "only" 25 miles away supposed to be reassuring? You know, on account of how flies, um, fly and all, 25 miles seems pretty darn close.
