Global Food Prices Hit All-Time High
------------------------------------

Global food prices have hit an all-time high, according to the Food and
Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The FAO's food price
index jumped 13% in March, and prices are expected to keep rising in

about 12% of the world's calories.
