Seems like pure speculation; finance stripped of any contact with the real economy.

- scotty79 13y agoI'd take that any day instead of speculative finance attched to food trade.
- Brakenshire 13y agoHah, well that's one way of looking at it. In theory, though, speculation does play an important role with food, futures establishing scarcity or abundance over a long enough time period so that new crops can be planted, or new land brought into cultivation, to balance things out. Albeit, not sure about in practice.
