I’m curious to see what, if any, are the US food exports to these countries that are having ‘issues’. If we aren’t regular trading partners with them, then our own biofuel uses for corn, etc, have nothing to do with their struggles
(altho, an excess of our own product would be welcomed in the starving nations).
So, I’m not jumping to conclusions. If/when it’s found out that we are burning what we used to ship, I’ll scream louder than anyone. But I don’t know enough about our trading partners to immediately blame Bush, Gore, etc.
If anyone has this kind of info...
I’m afraid that the food shortage is going to get very bad and very expensive for the rest of us. The greenies are going to get exactly what they wanted, a cleaner world with less people they just didn’t want to tell anyone a head of time what the plan was. Unfortuantely there will be no one sending food to save them because all of the wheat fields have been planted with corn and that is for animal feed and bio fuels. From what I’ve been reading the price of wheat and rice is about to get very expensive. I just dropped 25# of flour into the freezer now while it is still affordable.
It drives up prices that they can't afford. There are rumblings in this country about food prices, but not life or death, yet. For the mayority that is. I am sure some are really going to hurt though.
