Reply #37: The issue of whether the bio-fuels will up our food prices exists

[truedelphi]

because of the fraudulent measures used to ensure that we get so much of our bio-fuels from the food end of a crop rather than the waste.

Brazil is a big leader in ethanol - based on their sugar cane harvests. Only in Brazil, they don't sacrifice the sugar end of the cane - they use the waste product.

Here our Farm Lobbyists ensure that we use the food end of the corn crop, rather than the husks.

It is a bunch of regulations more or less set up in cement. To change those, you'd have to have all of us out in the streets, because the Agro Industry has the same type of lobbying maneuvers that every other Big Industry in America does.

It is really sad that Big Money interests control our entire government.
