Reply #60: Care to provide evidence?

"My concern is that food prices are already being significantly impacted world-wide by the minuscule amount of biofuels we're currently making."

Evidence of that, please?


"If food prices rise too much (say they doubled?), while you might still be able to afford your steak and two veg, there are 2 billion people living on a dollar or two a day that might feel the pinch."

Do you really think we pay the same for food in the US that the poorest countries pay? Of course not. Food isn't a traded commodity--nine times out of ten it's consumed in the same area it's produced.
