THERE'S KEEPIN' BEES AND THEN THERE'S THIS...

The next time you're held up in traffic or waiting in line at the grocery store just thank God for how easy our life is here in the Western world in general and America in particular. As the forces of evil set fires around the globe because they think that it's better to live a life closer to the lives these people in the jungle live than the lives we live in the modern modern world remember what we're about to lose. In the near future honey may be nearly as difficult for us to get as it is for these people. We may not be climbing trees but we won't be going to the store to buy it, either. And it won't just be honey that becomes a luxury.

FOOD AT RECORD HIGH PRICES

So, have you started stocking up yet? Or do you still think that there's nothing to worry about?

No matter how high the stock market gets, if your belly's empty those mutual funds won't do you any good.


"World food prices reached their highest level ever recorded in January and are set to keep rising for months, the UN food agency said on Thursday, warning that the hardest-hit countries could face turmoil.

Rising food prices have been cited among the driving forces behind recent popular revolts in north Africa, including the uprising in Egypt and the toppling of Tunisia's long-time president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.

And in its latest survey, the Food and Agriculture Organisation said its index which monitors monthly price changes for a variety of staples averaged 231 points in January -- the highest level since records began in 1990.

"The new figures clearly show that the upward pressure on world food prices is not abating. These high prices are likely to persist in the months to come," FAO economist and grains expert Abdolreza Abbassian said in a statement."
