The tragedy is the Bolivians need only recognize that the fast food diet of the United States has many people overweight with diseases like diabetes striking ever younger people. Furthermore, it is cultural death when the foods of your parents and grandparents fade away. It is troublesome to ask where I have seen a similar staple food price escalation scenario. Remember corn going into ethanol for cars.

#1 - Sun Mar 20, 2011 12:27 AM EDTIt costs more money up front to eat "healthy"....but the savings on health care makes up for the initial costs...plus a person feels better when their energy comes from foods that work with the body instead of against it.
And foods are labeled "healthy" that aren't. "Natural" means nothing on a label ...even a chemical can be termed "natural" since there are no real regulations on what "Natural" entails.
And sadly, when a "new" health food is "discovered" and becomes the "flavor of the month", the prices rise and rise some more to whatever the market will bear.
