Snip...

Wheat went up to $21 mostly because of drought in Australia plus a devalued
dollar making it much cheaper in foreign places pushing American exports. It
has since dropped to $11 dollars. Any bakery can easily afford flour at
today's prices. It's nonsense to claim bakeries are going out of business.
Of course you can find some mom and pop operation baking in their kitchen
that decided to not do it any longer. But, name ONE bakery that makes over
100 loaves per day that has gone out of business because of flour prices.

You are a one note samba singing a sad song that is mostly BULL SHIT!
Clearly you must be an Exxon shill. Why else would you make such outlandish
unsubstantiated claims?
