What About Food Inflation, Bernanke?
[B]ut while the Fed moves on with its bond bonanza assuming rapidly rising prices won't be a problem, or at least not any time soon, it will be hard to convince shoppers at the grocery aisle.

Producer food prices are up 2.6% from a year earlier, compared with an annual gain of just 1.5% for all goods. In particular, chicken prices have surged 14.3% during the last year and wholesale beef and veal prices rose 8.2% in November, the biggest monthly gain since 2008.

For months, the US Department of Agriculture has warned about higher food prices. Next year, U.S. consumers may pay 3% to 4% more for food, the agency forecasts. The price of beef may rise as much as 5% amid tighter supplies of corn, which is used to feed cattle. Since June, the price of grain, the country's biggest crop, rose by more than 50%.

Twas the night before QE2, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a Wall St banker louse
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that Ben Shalom soon would be there
Blankfein and Dimon were nestled all snug in their beds
While visions of free money danced in their heads
