World food prices rise further, raising fears of unrest

Yes it is (in my humble opinion) but whether it will hit here first or the US is anyone's guess.
Besides how it is going to 'hurt us' is still unknown.
I'm not so worried about it preferring to worry about the little things like what is going to happen when the Euro goes 'pop'.
I'm guessing I'll still earn the same amount of folding stuff but there will be a huge transistion shock as the price of goods soars when the EU / Euro based coutries try and go back to their old currencies.
Then of course there's fuel. All sorts of fuels. That's where I'm guessing the UK will flounder as we buy most of our energy from the EU.

So if the Euro does go pop this year, it could to be a long cold winter. That's my worry!
