Egypt and Food Shortages

Submitted by coupagain (United States), Jul 5, 2013 at 22:59

I am wondering why there is no mention of the lack of food, particularly bread, in the current upheaval in Egypt. While pundits, yourself excluded, talk about the various figures involved, like the head of the military, Mr. Mansour, Mr. El Baradei, etc, the issue of the lack of food whee people cannot feed their families surely is of prime importance. Is anybody addressing that issue?
