American consumers have long enjoyed a luxury that few others could boast: an abundance of affordable food.
But with prices of wheat, corn and other staples soaring, some economists and scientists are wondering how long that can last.
On Wednesday, the U.S. Labor Department reported that wholesale food prices jumped 3.9% in February over January, the highest monthly increase in 37 years. Economists expect to see a similar uptick in what consumers are paying for food at retail when the Labor Department releases its consumer price index Thursday.

Soylent Green either
