This website used to be clearer on correlations versus causation. I'm not going to die on this hill because food is likely a factor, but you do understand my fundamental point of correlation between factors when one of them is literally always happening, yes?
Interestingly enough, one of my original questions is answered in the Wiki page. Food did rise more in the Arab world than other parts of the world (remember this from my original question? Or was it just ignored?), therefore the correlation might imply causation. Despite this, notice how this specific thread is about World prices and not trends in specific countries. Meaning that this thread is still correlating a constantly ongoing effect with a new trend, and, again, you can do this with anything.
>Tip, if you think you're being naive, don't insist that others don't know what they're talking about.
Literally never claimed that _anyone_ didn't know what they are talking about. On occasion, people on this website may want to admit their own knowledge gaps -- it's called self-awareness.
