"Peak vegetable oil" doesn't really have the same punch does it? Or asking people in the maws of a global economic crises on the British high street as they murmur prayers of relief to Mc Donalds for job creation and cheap food - to consider the true worth of a sesame seed bun. Many people starting out on the "protein analysis" of global poverty get the meat-eating thing 100% correct. Yes, it would be easier to feed the world if all the world ate fruit & vegetables, seeds & fungi. But until we liberate land in the interests of the poorest then it doesn't matter if the crop grown is coffee, cattle, coca, opium, tobacco, soya, sunflower or tulips. Alas, too many people have opted for the cultivation of biofuel crops without any significant reduction in the production of meat protein.

We are running towards "peak bread" quicker than "peak oil".

In the Spanish state which is amongst the highest producers of both wheat and sunflower in the EU, the price increase of one litre of sunflower oil has been 47.12% and 31.30% on one kg of flour in the last 8 months alone. That inflation is as bearable as a mosquito bite compared to the rises seen in the real world grimsville.

"The World Bank reports that global food prices rose 83% over the last three years and the FAO cites a 45% increase in their world food price index during just the past nine months. The Economist’s comparable index stands at its highest point since it was originally formulated in 1845. As of March 2008, average world wheat prices were 130% above their level a year earlier, soy prices were 87% higher, rice had climbed 74%, and maize was up 31%"

Hopefully "peak bread" will be easier to explain before people notice less sesame seeds on their burger bun.

That whole 'eviction' things looks painful. Hope everyone's ok. Great action.
