Too many crises to keep track of

Wondering what happened to the "global food crisis"? I was. You can find some info here:

Fuel from food- The feast is over - Associated Press

I wonder if the US government realized we were all getting a little too fatigued from the continual fears over terrorism, so now they're freaking us out over the food supply, the economy, etc. I'll put a plug in here for Naomi Klein's recent book "The Shock Doctrine" - highly recommended if you haven't already had a chance to read it.
