clearly the author does not know what proof is. What was offered was some evidence. Now, I am sure that this comes as a shock to many, but just because you think that you saw something does not mean that it actually happened, and in this case, even if it did happen, that does not make it "universal". For example, Oats, which this poerson has almost doubling in price, actually declined by about 10% over the past year. Likewise, the KCBT read wheat went from 7.70 to 6.65 or down about 15%. Hey, maybe those Mormon Canneries were taken over by the Catholic Church in league with Jewish Bankers. to help pay off all those pedophile lawsuits. In any case, the costs cited are not due to actual costs of raw materials.
