		<description><![CDATA[I just returned from a three week trip to Argentina, the land of my birth, I was both pleased and alarmed. Buenos Aires has all those things you hear about: The ever popular Evita, tango, Malbec wine, lots of grass fed beef, soccer fanatics, and wild traffic.

The increase in food prices is a global crisis, which I am afraid will outlast the mortgage crisis. See this article about a recent UN report.
