World food prices hit record high
CNN ^ | 2/3/11 | Bryony Jones

Posted on 02/03/2011 10:10:03 PM PST by Kartographer

World food prices rose to an all-time high in January, according to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

The FAO's Food Price Index measures the cost of a basket of basic food supplies -- sugar, cereals, dairy, oils and fats and meat -- across the globe.

The index rose by 3.4% in January -- the seventh monthly increase in a row -- to its highest level since records began in 1990.

The cost of sugar, cereals, dairy and oils and fats all went up last month, while meat prices remained steady.

FAO economist Abdolreza Abbassian said high prices were likely to persist in the months to come.

Rising commodities costs are one of the major factors behind a growing wave of civil unrest across the Middle East and North Africa.

Congrats, you figured out that 1108 is larger than than 896. When you figure out that 1600 is smaller than 1773, let me know.

Sure you do you come on every post and defend everything the big banks that paid off obama does.

And in your mind only is anyone posting bad information you selectively read what you want to hear and then call it bad.

Your nothing but a troll.

You know perfectly well thread after thread you appear like the troll you are and repeatedly spin the same crap. Your a LIAR the article you are referring to you are purposely distorting. I never said any of the things you claim. Your just a pain and many on site have told you so. Now I’m telling you so. Show me troll where I said 1600is less then 1773 put up or shut up.

This is the article you immediately tried to cause problems with and your an outright liar people can go through your posts and see that for themselves.

Really?

No, no, no. You said 1600 is more than 1773. You are wrong.

Fed Passes China in Treasury Holdings (Soon Fed will hold more than China and Japan Combined)

That's where your most recent math error occurred.

According to the most recent US Treasury data on foreign holders of US government paper, China holds $896bn and Japan owns $877bn.

See those numbers? 877 + 896 = 1773.

And get this. "By June [the Fed] will have accumulated some $1,600bn of Treasury securities

See that number? Now check this out, 1600 (Fed ownership by June) is less than China and Japan combined (1773).

Do you understand English and math? Do you see how stupid you've sounded since I first pointed out your innumeracy?

I never said what you claim

You posted the article with the claim in the title and I corrected the claim.

Are you saying you agree with me that the article was in error?

Did I distort the bad math in the article? Do you agree with the article's math or mine? Don't run away, you can tell me.

Stop posting articles with errors in them and I'll stop pointing out the errors.
