what is really catching the attention of Goldman Sachs now is the outlook for agricultural prices. Or as Jeff Currie, head of commodities research at the US bank, says with disarming cheer: "We think we could go into crisis mode in many commodities sectors in the next 12 to 18 months... and I would argue that agriculture is key here."

    This is a crisis the West doesn't want discussed. I've been reading alternate news sources documenting rice shortages throughout the third world. They are being caused by climate change.

    There are problems with food production in the West that don't get news coverage.

        Food or water? Which will be the next crisis. You can live longer without food than water. It will be water that is most important.

          We have already hit a crisis over here. Plant a backyard garden and hope for some honey bees.

            We Americans love to worry, don't we. Day after day worrying about food, fuel, gas, water, weather, climate, health-care, too fat, drug companies, even century old conspiracies to enslave us.

            We worry about the dollar, the stock market, the mortgage.

            All of these crisis we supposedly "live through" are in our head and actually never physically happen to us.

            "The pampered west". What a line ... as though we haven't earned what we have.

              Earning don't have a thing to do with this. You have better hope there is some food for you to spend some money on.
