It’s a hard train to get off of, wouldn’t you know. I myself am a huge fan of carbs and am quite happy that this foodstuff has earned itself its own large chunk of the food pyramid. However - all arguments on who exactly sponsors those food pyramids aside - carbs are surely a part of that pyramid because in addition to being nutritious if you get the whole wheat version, they are also comparatively cheap to find.

Or at least they have been, until now and the upcoming future. According to organicconsumers.org, that “unprecedented demand for agricultural products from fast-growing countries including China and India has exacerbated the supply crunch for wheat, which has more than doubled in price since last year.” Undoubtedly, however, the problem existed long before these “population growths.”

Now we just learn how to deal with the shortage.
