Its not that funny. I was talking to a farmer friend of mine recently and he is convinced that if we continue to turn agricultural land over from food production to biofuel there are going to be a serious worldwide food shortage soon.

I’ve been warning the same to my libidiot friends.

Few of them are aware that corn, wheat, and soybean prices have doubled in the last two years, in large part due to this stoopid drive to burn food.

I'm wondering if that's what this is really about anyway. The biofuels thing that is. They have to know it's nutty but the USA has the most arable land of any country in the world. Could this be an effort to bring farming up to sell to a hungry world?

The Brit is right. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
