According to some it is because states are switching their currency reserves to commodity reserves. For some time, beans prices have rocketeed in Brazil. Rice is also high. OTOH, milk didn't raise in the (past) Winter as it did in 2007's Winter (when the price of 1 liter doubled from c. R$ 1.50 to R$ 3.00). Alberto Monteiro PS: for the sake of comparison, 1 US$ has floated between R$ 1.60 and R$ 2.40 in the past two years. And the price of food usually doesn't correlate with the exchange rate. ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
