Foodstuffs can make fuel.
By using corn as fuel it has raised prices making farming profitable.
Besides it makes foodstuffs more expensive for other countries that don’t raise enough for their own populations.
The Mid-East makes us dig deep for their fuel, let’s make them dig deep for our foodstuffs.
Use food as a weapon.
I can mostly get by without fuel but I gotta eat.

1960 Corn $1.05/bu
1960 New Chevrolet $2500.00

2008 Corn $4.00
2008 New Chevrolet $32,000.00
Corn should be $13.40/bu

1960 New combine $7,500.00
2008 New Combine $250.000.00

Corn should be $34.66/bu

The American farmer is still getting the shaft.

Yep, the West needs to use food, medicine, water, and all the other essentials as a weapon against the Enemy Oil Monopolies...a little shared pain would be helpful.
