Maybe I'm being too much of a devil's advocate but world events such as the cyclone that hit Burma forcing them to become a rice importer instead of an exporter cause enough of their own problems that I don't feel comfortable putting too much blame on ethanol. Africa has their own reasons for having food problems starting with some bad droughts and ending with horrible leaders or anarchy in some regions. The complexity of the global issues is why I focused on the US food prices - beyond the fact those are the ones I can easily quantify with numbers mentally.
