Now my mom does say Obama isn't doing enough to help senior citizens and she says food costs are too high (but I blame that on the wealthy corporations that aren't pleased with Obama's plans to help out the poorer citizens wanting to compensate for his plans by driving up the price of food.)

You know who would of helped lower the price of food?

John McCain.

You know why food is so expensive?

Alternative energy.  Ethanol. 

Obama wants to increase the Ethanol we use instead of decrease it.  All subsidies for corn based ethanol should be removed.

If it did  food would flood the markets lowering the prices of food and helping ease the world hunger crisis.

Largely caused by biofuel programs. (according to the Un.)

The corn lobby has it's hands to far in Obama's pockets for that though.

It all relates to where you live also. Here in Texas food prices haven't changed a whole lot. Plus a lot of farmers around here love Ethanol.

My friend's dad swithed over from growing 100% cotton to 50% corn and 50% cotton about ten years back because he saw the need for the crop in the future.

It has help open up different opportunities of where to sell his product.

While other parts of the U.S. are raising food prices and don't see the benefit because they don't grow corn.
