By scolding Britons to "cut [their] food waste," Prime Minister Gordon Brown reinforces the dangerous myth that a shortage of food is the reason food prices have jumped.

The sup-prime fallout and global credit crunch is hitting hard in Iceland. The latest news is that Björn Gudmundsson, an economist at Landsbanki, said the Bank of England might need to join the Nordic front to stop the crisis spreading.
