From the page: "So Mexicans are not as vulnerable as Bangladeshis. Still, the averages will hide many poorer people who have both less food altogether, and a much higher proportion of it from corn and rice (staples of the Mexican diet). And increasing the hardship of Mexico's poor is just about certain to increase their tendency to try to move north across the border, which is a major source of political tension in the US.
And there lie the key issues for wealthy citizens of developed nations I think.
In the last year, there have been food riots, protests, or stampedes in Mauritania, China, Senegal, India, Pakistan, Morocco, Mexico, Yemen, Indonesia, and Burkina Faso.
If food prices continue to go up, the world's middle classes will still be able to afford ample food. But it's hard to see how, in the long term, we will be insulated from the social and ecological collapses that might get triggered in poor countries."

My opinion: The source for the news of the meeting was he himself - Penn, (as the timing was made by himself and the nafta is in the headlines in the near coming Pennsylvania and as we are not used to hear such detailed news so near in time to such evens). The reason for my opinion was to break himself out of the failure he made (- his campaign) for to secure his reputation (- to such extent those power games between the lobbies-dealer can reach), otherwise he would resign from his job as ceo of Burson-Marsteller and it would not be defined so simply as an "Error" and nothing more. That is to say in the clinton campaign they finally know that they lost. And btw Blackwater are the only ones who still benefit from the ongoing-war-in-iraq.
From the page: "Interesting to note that the Colombian government spokesman wasn't clear whether Penn was representing Hillary Clinton or Burson-Marsteller, the PR and lobbying company that Penn heads up. It's not the first time that Penn has had a conflict â€" Burson-Marsteller has done work for the controversial security company Blackwater"

From the page: "Penn (- until now the chief strategist of the Clinton campaign, which would continue to provide polling and advice to the campaign) apologized for the meeting (-with the Colombian Ambassador Carolina Barco Isakson, in which they discussed a free trade deal), which he said he held in his separate role as CEO of Burson-Marsteller Worldwide, a lobbying firm hired by the South American country to help win the approval by the U.S. Congress of a free trade agreement with the United States."
