    Food shortages are an attempt to slow down global growth.
    The result is to allow time for some economies to pass the liquidity crunch.

    At the same time global growth is blamed for shortages and limit up on all comodities to mask real inflation through the debasing of currency.

    Yes you live in the Matrix.

    Fly is using a grammatical construct known as “notional agreement”. In this case, you should understand that “the recent phenomenon of rice shortages”, taken as a singular concept, is the subject of the sentence, rather than a plural collection of shortages.

    In Latin, this concept is known as constructio ad sensum.

    PS: Every time I read about rice shortages, I get hungry for rice, so I go to my well-stocked pantry. There I have ample supplies of 5-6 different varieties of rice. And I cook up a batch. Tonight it was sushi or “sticky” rice. I sit down to eat, and I think about how much it must suck to eat “mud biscuits” instead of fresh, delicious rice. Then I resolve to make a donation to a charity that feeds the poor, but I usually fall asleep on the coach before I get around to it. Am I going to hell?

    Fuck you. The sentence structure, while being somewhat cumbersome, is flawless.

    Go back to your third grade English class.

    Yo, it should read:

    Rice shortages be an inside job.

    See, we got plenty of rice, but the man is keeping it for his self.
