Rodkin said he’s also sure his company can manage its way through the food-cost pressures, from global demand and government-mandated ethanol, that are hurting so much of the industry.

“If you think that we are at a peak in the price of food, you buy ConAgra,” he said. “If you don’t, you can’t pull the trigger.”
