LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

Eating energy

"Feed my people" (May 3/10) describes how the price of pizza in New York has risen by one dollar per slice in recent months, in part because of the rising cost of wheat. But the cost of wheat in a slice of pizza is only a few cents. While commodity prices may have a large impact in developing countries, the real story of rising food prices here is the cost of energy to grow, transport, process, and distribute these commodities.
—Vance Wendelburg; Stafford, Kan.

Altar calls

WORLD's fawning over Mike Huckabee and finger-pointing at evangelicals who didn't support him is getting a little old ("Off-key," May 3/10). I'm a conservative Christian who enthusiastically supported Huckabee at first, until I became disillusioned by his naïve foreign policy, his failure to speak frankly about his record in Arkansas, and his acceptance of the anthropogenic global warming story. But he can't accuse me of "worshipping at the altar of electability"; I switched to Fred Thompson.
—Daniel Bruhn; Berkeley, Calif.
