The author touches on the current food issue in Congress. Due to the current gas crisis leading scientists to find new ways of fuel, food prices have soared. Food riots have broken out in countries such as Haiti and Egypt. But America isn't helping this problem, because the US purchases food products from American farmers and sells them overseas. This cost millions in shipping funds. President Bush is asking Congress for $770 million which would boost American food aid to roughly $5 million over the next two years. The author is clearly in favor of Congress allowing President Bush to do so becasue he clearly states that we need this. He also just touches on the positives of this bill and does not tell the negative effects of it. Overall it is a well written article, but could use the other side of the arguement.

This is a good article because the author explains the topic clearly and gives his opinion along with a solution.
