Well you have it half right. Shit Sack.

Ethanol is another AmeriKKKan boondoggle. But it's not having any
significant impact on food prices. The collapsing U.S. dollar is largely to
do with high U.S. prices, and speculation on an increase in demand (for
food) relative to production is the primary reason for the price increase.

Rising oil scarcity is driving up costs of anything requiring its use.
It was assumed by the naive that food transport costs (plus plowing,
fertilizer, and harvesting) would remain cheap relative to returns.
You had the likes of Julian Simon claiming that everything was
magically getting cheaper - because money wasn't reflecting actual
depletion. Money takes too long to warn of scarcity because the greedy
fix prices for personal gain.

It has only taken a doubling of oil prices to reveal the cheap food
folly. Now, some are predicting $200/barrel oil within a year. This is
why "Peak Oil" is no small detail. It's an economic disaster that
should be making headlines. People sit around complaining about
prices, as if accountants can replenish finite reserves! The obsession
with money over true wealth is truly evil.

In small part, yes. But in the U.S. oil prices have doubled over the last
year, while this is not true in any country that has not pegged the value of
it's currency to that of the collapsing AmeriKKKan dollar.

Oil has increased in price by a factor of 6 since Bush took office. But
then the AmeriKKKan dollar has fallen by almost half compared to world
currencies, during the Bush Administration.

So on the world stage, oil prices have only tripled. Still significant,
but it's not felt as much in the rest of the world as it is in the failed
AmeriKKKan state.
