News Item in Yahoo today:
"Biofuels have caused world food prices to increase by 75 percent, according to the findings of an unpublished World Bank report published in The Guardian newspaper on Friday. . . the report was finished in April but was not published to avoid embarrassing the US government . . . [w]ithout the increase in biofuels, global wheat and maize stocks would not have declined appreciably and price increases due to other factors would have been moderate . . ."
Think about that today when you use your E8 capable SUV filled with an ethanol-gas mix to run out to Kroger's to buy burgers, hot dogs, buns, chips, pop, beer and charcol for your 4th of July cookout 'cause you're causing people (especially children) to starve elsewhere just so you can keep your American way of life intact.
