Battle for Biofuels Drives World Food Prices Higher

America's thirst for environmentally friendly biofuels
is driving up food prices around the world as farmers
scramble to devote more land to corn.



And farmer's income and our cars are of primary importance of course. Our
mouths and stomachs take second fiddle. Point taken.

Question. Where are the bees? Another part of the equation eventually
driving us to starvation. Think bigger than just the things mentioned. Who
and what and why stands to gain from this?

Corn is petroleum intensive. See book "Omnivore's Dilemma".
