I've read a few articles explaining that a food crisis is coming, I want to tell you something about it. There will be no food crisis for me.
Price of pasta, price of cooking oil, rice or meat will increase 20%? 30%?

That's all right. I don't care much. I can handle it, just like most people in developed countries. We don't spend much on food, increasing that budget by a third is perfectly fine.

The problem will be with the poor countries, but I wonder: is it a problem, or a solution?

There were 100 millions people living in Africa in 1900. Now, there are over 1,500 millions people there. I know that some people live a in a fantasy world thinking that there will be food, jobs, modern housing and all creature comforts for every human, but that won't happen. We live in a finite world, and the population just cannot grow without limit. Number one rule of the world has always been the survival of the fittest...
  You're lucky if you are born with a golden spoon since you don't have to worry about the increasing prices of basic commodities but for most of us here, this food price increase is killing us more. This increasing high inflation won't do any good but continue to trigger our finances and will left us struggling to earn because of high prices of goods all over the world. Hopefully, the government can do something about this or even give more assistance to the poor families.
