Biofuels are the most efficient way to starve the poor.

Let's get to it!

Yes if you use food stock. But you can use blue green algae and select the particular specie for your fuel type:

During a 90 day continual production test, algae was being harvested at an average of one gram (dry weight) per liter. This equates to algae bio mass production of 276 tons of algae per acre per year. Achieving the same biomass production rate with an algal species having 50% lipids (oil) content would therefore deliver approximately 33,000 gallons of algae oil per acre per year.

you are whacked!

when was the last time you saw some starving poor begging for soybean oil or even tofu made from soybeans?? when was the last time you heaped soybean oil on your salad??

Biodiesel is made from pressing the oil from soybeans. It doesn't prevent the rest of the bean from being eaten.
