Food prices to post biggest rise since 1990: USDA (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080820/us_nm/food_prices_usda_dc_2)

Oh great, how exciting.

"Food prices are forecast to rise by 5 percent to 6 percent this year"

"Prices are expected to rise by 4 percent to 5 percent in 2009, lead by red meat and poultry. The forecast, if correct, would be the third straight year where food prices have surged at least 4 percent."
