"The IMF last week voiced concern that the increasing global reliance on grain as a source of fuel could have serious implications for the world's poor."

I agree with that statement.

Do you really believe that American’s don’t get enough corn starch in their diets?

True statement.

The rest of the world, comprised of stupid people, have chosen to use something other than capitalism as a engine to drive their economies. As a result, they are always one crop away from starvation. I say, let the stupid people starve.

As they do so, let's celibrate our prosperity by gowing organic food, which requires twice as much land to produce a lower quality crop that a lot of Americans enjoy eating. Let's BURN some of our food for fuel too.

And the rest of us can gourge ourselves on the most abundant, most varied, highest quality food ever experienced the ENTIRE history of the world.

There's a price for stupidity, in this case, probably starvation.

HATS OFF TO THE AMERICAN FARMER, THE GREATEST FARMERS THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN!

They can still plant their own crops and choose not to sell them.

Perhaps oil producing countries need to send more charity to “underprivileged” countries in place of the US always doing so.

We are only doing what makes immediate sense to reduce our dependence on foreign oil—even if the net gain seems negligible at times.

Most biofuels are grossly inefficient, and stupidly subsidized.

Zimbabwe is the best example of socialist management of food farms.

Stupidity is a capital crime.
