I'm saying that I trust actual farmers and the price I actually pay for corn when determining that corn prices aren't up that much, and that I trust math when determining that this stuff just can't have that much effect on the price of my pizza (and that the price of energy does have that much effect). What I don't trust is The Guardian's website telling me something that doesn't add up.
I don't really care where my fuel comes from, I just want to make sure, if Chicken Little is right and dinosaur juice is running out, that I'll still be able to drive internal combustion powered cars...and that blame is placed properly on energy prices. The sillyness about biofuels causing the rise in food prices is a combination of paranoia with smoke-and-mirrors design to lure your attention away from the real problem. Think about it for yourself, do the math, consider how food is made, ask farmers, don't just believe what big media tells you to believe.
