Tell that to starving third-world peasants who can’t afford food after corn triples in price due to biofuel-generated demand.

I won't have to, I'm sure they get the message.

America is one of the few countries in the world, in fact in the entire history of human civilization, where overproduction and the resulting financial ruin is one of the biggest dangers facing the farmer.

Peoples around the world evidently haven't bothered to ask themselves why, or tried to emulate how we do things here.

There is a price to be paid for such lack of curiosity, and resulting ignorance.

That price is hunger and starvation.

Ignorant people starve.
