“Producing Food And Energy” By Ike SeñeresSaturday, March 29, 2008 11:12:52 AM
Fidel Castro was the first world leader to warn that the demand for bio-fuels will have dangerous effects on the availability of land intended for agricultural production. Looking at the situation in the United States right now, it appears that Castro was correct in his warning, because the prices of beef, corn and bread have already gone up.
The increase in prices is a result of a chain reaction. Beef prices went up because the cost of corn went up, corn being a part of cattle diet. Corn prices went up because its demand went up, because it is now used to produce bio-fuels. Bread prices went up, because the demand for wheat went up, after wheat fields were converted to corn.

As responsible and concerned citizens, we should MAKE THINGS HAPPEN.
