Most think of "food crisis" as "shortage" or "price inflated" or "food riots" or "drought" but I have come to conclude that "GMO", "preservatives", "additives", "flavor enhancers", "natural flavorings", "FDA Red #1 and all like it" and other terms I cannot easily pronounce have greatly added to the stress of the World Food Crisis which viewed in this manner becomes more and more as having the appearance of being a man-made crisis. Basically, it is in the food.

Any thoughts out there???
