I don't really care where my fuel comes from, I just want to make sure, if Chicken Little is right and dinosaur juice is running out, that I'll still be able to drive internal combustion powered cars...and that blame is placed properly on energy prices. The sillyness about biofuels causing the rise in food prices is a combination of paranoia with smoke-and-mirrors design to lure your attention away from the real problem. Think about it for yourself, do the math, consider how food is made, ask farmers, don't just believe what big media tells you to believe.

the gaurdian is just reporting it...the leaked info comes from a world bank and the most trusted economists in the world who actually researched all the data
big media is trying to cover the fact up that biofuels cause the price of food to go up...they are in the bag with all the wacko environmentalists
and oil is not running out...we've got more oil here in america than all of the middle east...
but come on common sense when you divert so much of your supply price goes up...how is this not common sense??
