Actually, one of the reasons why the price of cheese went up is due to 
biofuels. A few countries (including the US) have been converting food maize 
and soybeans crops to biofuel maize for a few years now, due to attractive 
fuel prices: the US now uses more of its maize crop for biofuel than it 
sells abroad. Last year, with a few other factors, this cascaded into a 
world shortage of food/feed grains. The price of cereals doubled between May 
and September 2007, and drove up the price of feeds, and then of milk and 
cheese.
