Indians have started eating well ??

This happens to be the opinion of the U Secretary of State , Ms Rice and subsequently the President Mr Bush. As Indians have started eating better quality food, naturally there is a scarcity of food grains and this has resulted in increase of food grain prices all over the world.

How true is this statement ?

Are we robbing the US citizens of their right to splurge on food ? Are we robbing the US citizens of their freedom to have high quality, low cost food at the expense of feeding the poor from other countries of the world ?

Even now we have millions who are still living in poverty in India.

Did Mr Bush and Ms Rice commit and diplomatic and factual blunder by their utterances ?
