The FoodPriceTruth.org blog was created as an open and free flowing dialogue to inform the American public, the media and lawmakers about the true reasons for increasing food prices. This blog is necessary to combat a coordinated attack on biofuels designed to fool Americans and policymakers into believing that ethanol is to blame for their rising food costs. While biofuels play a marginal role in rising food costs, the biggest contributors are skyrocketing energy costs, weather events like droughts, speculation in the commodity markets and increased demand for food products from developing nations like China and India.
