Food prices are skyrocketing all over the planet. The World Food Organization made a special plea for money because food prices are higher than they can afford. Riots over high food prices have broken out in Haiti, Egypt, Yemen, Senegal, and Cameroon. We'll talk to Environmentalist Lester Brown. He's written about food since the early 60s and he's author of Plan B 3.0: Mobilizing to Save Civilization.
