Portraits of Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez sit for sale along a street on the sidelines of a rally in Caracas, Venezuela, Wednesday, Jan. 23, 2013. Many credit Chavez with easing their poverty and expanding public services. To them, it does not matter that Venezuela suffers from 20 percent inflation, that the oil-producing nation is often short on cooking oil and sugar, that it has one of the world's highest murder rates, and that the president will not divulge the details of his cancer.

FILE-- In an Oct. 14, 2010 file photo, Art Ginsburg, also known as Mr. Food, is shown during rehearsal in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Coastal foodies may have overlooked this man’s decades-long career of cooking on TV, but countless Americans grew up on Mr. Food’s quick fix approach to weeknight cooking beamed into their local newscasts. In an era when food TV is dominated by flash and fluff, Ginsburg, who died at age 81 in November, was a throwback to the real deal. (AP Photo/Alan Diaz, file)

FILE - This March 23, 2011 file photo shows Nathan Myhrvold, author of "Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking," as he poses with books at the Institute for Culinary Education in New York. At times in 2012 it felt like the food world belonged to the geeks, and the rest of us just eat in it. Myhrvold’s science chic approach to cooking continued to woo foodies, and even the more populist folks at Cook’s Illustrated magazine got in on the act with a new cookbook, “The Science of Good Cooking.” (AP Photo/Stephen Chernin, File)

In this Nov. 1, 2012 photo, seven-year-old Achta stands in the door of her family's cooking hut, as her mother prepares dinner over a wood fire by the light of a flashlight, in the village of Louri, in the Mao region of Chad. Achta's birth seven years ago coincided with the first major drought to hit the Sahel this decade. Climate change has meant that the normally once-a-decade droughts are now coming every few years. The droughts decimated her family's herd. With each dead animal, they ate less. (AP Photo/Rebecca Blackwell)

In this July 14, 2012 photo, trucker Miguel Gospodneich watches soybeans kept in a portable silo bag being loaded into his truck to be transported for sale at a farm near Pergamino, Argentina. China is the leading buyer of Argentine soybeans, with most of the country's fertile land nowadays covered with the crop, its principal export. As Chinese ate more pork, fried chicken and hamburgers, increasing the demand for soybeans to make cooking oil and feed for pigs and cows, cattle ranchers in Latin America turned grazing land into fields of soy, a crop few in their region consume.
