It won't reduce the cost of my bagel which went up from $.60 to $1.00 this year. It won't change the cost of my eggs which also went up to $2.69 from $1.89.

I think the rising food costs are directly tied to fuel costs. You can't buy it if it isn't shipped to you. Shipping it to you is becoming more costly. In WWII the US was blanketed with "victory gardens." Wonder how high food prices have to get for them to return?
That side, I don't see this as anything but a gimmick to get votes. I don't see it saving anyone any actual cash. Therefore I see it as a bad idea.
