What makes you think food prices will go up because a company, which
most likely uses the oranges to make juice, will use the waste to
supplement petrol?


Fundamentally, I'm against finding ways to keep the internal

engine going, especially if it involves using food or food by-products.

The
by-products should be composted and returned to the earth, rather than
burned.
Besides the use of citrus waste for animal feed (which may be good or
bad), but will make poultry and cow raisers look for alternatives,

I imagine candied lemon peel will cost more, at the very least...

Direct Solvent Replacement being extremely useful, imo.


This is what happens when you starve out the small farmer and leave a
few agri-businesses controlling food production. It's another turn of
the screw in the closing of the "Commons".


Yessir..... On National Public Radio here yesterday, there was a
discussion of farm subsidies and Big Agribusiness gets 30% of their income
from that corporate welfare program. No mention of that from the current
regime when discussing cutting "entitlement" programs, of course. The little
guy gets squat.

Don't know where you came from, but welcome and glad to read 'ya. Maybe
your're an old hand. Another like-minded one, it would seem.


Glad to read you, too. I don't post much anymore, if I ever really did
here. I had to look myself up and apparently I go back to 2002 (and probably
lurked for quite some time before that). Something about Udder Balm and Bag
Balm and Shania Twain rubbing it all over......... Hey, someone was looking
for it and it's makes a gardener's hands soft, too, so it was on-topic.

€ $164.7 billion in subsidies 1995-2005.

€ 67 percent of all farmers and ranchers do not collect government
subsidy payments in United States, according to USDA.

€ Among subsidy recipients, ten percent collected 73 percent of all
subsidies amounting to $120.5 billion over 11 years.

€ Recipients in the top 10% averaged $34,190 in annual payments between
1995 and 2005. The bottom 80 percent of the recipients saw only $704 on
average per year.

Small farmers are doing a social service. While Cargill and Archer
Daniel Midlands make us sick with high fructose corn syrup. And it ain't
just the Republicans that have their hands out. They just seem to be the
worst.

It's worse than the above even sounds. And this from 1995....

http://www.cato.org/pubs/pas/pa-241.html

"At least 43 percent of ADM's annual profits are from products heavily
subsidized or protected by the American government. Moreover, every $1 of
profits earned by ADM's corn sweetener operation costs consumers $10, and
every $1 of profits earned by its ethanol operation costs taxpayers $30."
