How Does Global Food Inflation Affect Us?

U.S. warehouse retail chains have limited how much rice customers can purchase as prices rise. The price of wheat is also rising and the cost of groceries in general is climbing at an annual rate of 5% this year. How does global food inflation affect what we will eat in the future and what can we do about it?
