Sure, the Fed hasn’t caused all inflation in history. However, it has caused most of it since 1913, and the sharp decrease in the dollar’s value since then is no coincidence to me.

The food inflation due to ethanol production is a pretty recent phenomenon (although a real one) seen mostly in the last year or so.

We would be so much better off buying sugar ethanol from Brazil– as it is, we pay more for ethanol, more for food due to our ethanol subsidies (which cause farmers to use their corn for ethanol rather than for food) and sugar subsidies (which make high fructose corn syrup a part of most processed food instead of more expensive sugar, and it’s a product made from corn also), then make food prices worldwide go sky-high. Then, we send (now more expensive) food aid to poor countries so they don’t starve. It’s madness.

Inflation predates the Federal Reserve; IIRC, farmers in the 19th century agigated for inflation to reduce the real value of their outstanding debt. At least some of the food price inflation is due to US policy of turning food into motor fuel, which is of course subsidized by the taxpayer at every step.
