Biofuels and World Hunger
On the editorial page in the Montrose Daily Press, Tuesday, May 6, is a political cartoon depicting a emaciated, starving man holding an empty bowl. A pair of arms is holding out to him a gasoline can labeled ETHANOL. The meaning of the cartoon is certain– biofuels are responsible for world famine.
I enclose a link to an article posted on www.grain.org about the causes of the present world crisis of food, a crisis not caused by the push to alternatives fuels but by the complete restructuring of the food system over the past decades. Reading “Making a Killing from Hunger” will be well worth your time.
