I thought you just went to the store and get rice or whatever you need. Why would growing crops for fuel affect food in the stores? They’re completely different.

There's a limited supply of food crops. If you use them to make biofuels, you have less on hand to feed hungry people. The world doesn't have a food surplus, which explains the price pressures.
