  • No body can claim that we did not know about the food crisis coming on the Horn of Africa.

  • Insects, when unchallenged, ruin 90% of field-crops. The Irradiation of produce & the genetic modification of seeds is part & parcel of "codex alimentarius" funded by the selfsame U.N. eugenicists who manipulate stock markets, spoil for was & who promote: cultural Marxism, Earth-worship, private gun bans, fiat currency, & the nonsensical designations for their sacred American victims' groups: Native, African, gay, trans-gender, lesbian, Asian etc.

  • what causes poverty is the question that puts you back in the  game

  • I have an idea... FARM MORE FOOD!!!! Instead of building walmarts, grow me some fucking orange juice. I'm fucking hungry.

  • did he say we was burning mice?????

  • Maize, stupid.

    The stuff you Americans call "corn".

  • ha i thought he said that too at first!

  • DID the rapporteur said..ferlizes the road????

  • food is also a weapon

  • If one person goes hungry because of the bio fuel industry it would be unacceptable?? And yet Dubai is going through an orgy of palatial expansion. Give me a break.

  • The guest said so himself, it's changing food habits. Anyone can speculate that the evil biodiesel made from CORN doubled the price of WHEAT last year, but you need hard numbers or rather listen to smart people. I've heard more and more people talk about changing eating habits. The increase in oil did come from changing transportation habits in Asia, from the bicycle to the car. Well it's not hard conclude the same could be happening from pure rice and bread to meat today.

  • You must be the smart kid on the block . . .

  • great stuff. Very educational.

  • a looming Crises!!! the same PEOPLE who DROVE the prices of OIL are most probably the same people who Drove the Staples Up as well and putting the EXCUSE to Biofuels etc!!

    without a coordinated CONSPIRACY

    prices of oil and Staples CANT MOVE like they have done (SO FAST so SOON)!!!

    WHY use Staples when you can use Palm oil or other non Grains like Sugarcane or Methane gas from Wastes !!! Fuelcells?? so much than Corn

    BEWARE absolute GREED like this is like playin Roulette with God design !!

  • cradle2light, great point

    In the US we have more waste than any grain we could ever grow. In the city of Balitmore 60% of it energy is produced from waste. We could do this all over the country and posibly the world and kill two birds with on stone so to speak. Its clear that growing corn for fuel is having some effect on the the worlds food prices and there are alternatives that would solve two problems. But our leadership is controled by big business.

  • If you want to know about the other side of the issue you should read Bring on the Right Biofuels by Roger Cohen published in International Herald Tribune last week (23/04/08). Google the title to find the article.

  • Lula you are talking out of your ass - as soon as you are able to utilise those huge gas reserves off your coast you will be singing a different tune.

  • Bio-fuels need to be made illegal - wake up Europe!

  • Not...the real crime is over population and lack of birth control

  • Slow-moving 'overpopulation' didn't become a critical factor in the last two years. This has arisen because of the factors cited. Overpopulation is another, albeit related, issue. This is a supply side issue, not a demand-side issue. Just like the California energy crisis in 2000: market created

    There is a lot more demand for oil than there is ethanol to make a significant dent. 500,000 barrels ethanol is stuff all, in terms of oil, but significant, in terms of lost food. High cost, low benefit
