This also has to do with these corrupt regimes that promote hunger. North Korea and Zimbabwe both had starving citizens before this ethanol craziness hit, and yet this author doesn't blame the corrupt leadership for their part in this mess.

It's also time for Americans to demand a moon landing/manhattan type of project for our energy needs, to get the US to stop kissing the ring of the saudis and crazies like hugo chavez.

bingo...

yep, more blame to throw at the big bad west and old whitey..

now i am responsible for starvation, responsible for destroying the environment, responsible for oil prices....

wow, how do i get up in the morning!

i notice they only mention grain, only ONE mention of rice ? strange that considering its the stable diet of most of the world and is where the real issue is. Of course the countries like India, Vietnam who export rice etc are not mentioned here that they have stopped the vast majority of their exports and are saving it for their local markets (and as it happens i have no issue with a country doing that). Yet its e-85 and obviously the big bad west thats the problem.

another issue, stop using oil, stop using replacements...care to mention what we should use? what people dont realise is fuel powers economies and if you want world hunger on a biblical scale...just keep screwing around with fuel. the issue here is the FAKE oil issue and the even faker global warming BS. there is no peak oil, we are awash in oil, there is no issue other then a mental one...thats what so sad...so if you want to blame anyone, blame the fake global warming crowd..oh and blame those poeple who blocked refining capacity..

The same is true of Haiti. Tons and tons of rice, beans and other foods have been allowed to rot in shipping containers while the populace eats dirt!
