Yes, what's happening is that the countries and people who can do so are laying claim to whatever food can be bought. It's a matter of survival in some countries--and a matter of comfort and pleasure in others. But in the end the situation that is developing is that there's not enough to go around, especially if a lot of it is being converted (with gross inefficiency) into vehicle fuel. I think the estimate of 100 million starvation victims is much too low. Much of the population of Africa could simply be wiped out. Just dying like dogs and cats locked up in an abandoned house with no food.
