Global Food Reserves Running Low
As reported in the inestimable International Herald Tribune (a good non-US perspective I like to keep tabs on), global food reserves are running low.

Throw in global warming, the moves by multinational agri-conglomerates like ADM and Montsanto (in the US, this translates to the farm bill and NAIS), and the news seems even more ominous.
