Burning food while more of the world goes hungry...

I thought Lefties were supposed to be against stuff like that?

I guess that was before they decided that the existence of other people is a burden on Mother Earth.

The Left is all about decreasing the surplus population. They promote a Culture of Death. Banning DDT? Pro-abortion? Decreasing food supplies? It's all part of the plan.

"Burning food while more of the world goes hungry... "

Nobody "goes hungry" because of ethanol. Production of ethanol from corn actually INCREASES the total food supply. The reason it does is that the corn used for ethanol is EXTRA corn planted over and above what farmers would normally produce for food use, and that the entire food value of that extra corn is NOT all converted to ethanol....only the carbohydrate fraction is. The protein and fat (oil) fraction are still around, and end up in the total food chain as, guess what, CATTLE FEED (well, I suspect some of it actually goes to pigs, chicken, and other livestock, but you get the point).
