We have food to burn
Maybe drinking biofuels tastes fine.
Food Rationing Confronts Breadbasket of the World
Major retailers in New York, in areas of New England, and on the West Coast are limiting purchases of flour, rice, and cooking oil as demand outstrips supply. There are also anecdotal reports that some consumers are hoarding grain stocks. [snip]
In lean times, biotech grains are less taboo
Soaring food prices and global grain shortages are bringing new pressures on governments, food companies and consumers to relax their longstanding resistance to genetically engineered crops. [snip]
There can’t be a food shortage, we have food to burn. Ethanol is the wave of the future. This is what the greenies wanted, this is what results.
First, understand there isn’t a shortage of food, there is a shortage of non-GE food. In Europe, Asia and areas like Vermont, they want non-modified food. This is a self-inflicted predicament for 75% of the corn grown in the US is GE. If they want corn, they get what we sell and pay the price. Or, grow their own. They can have precisely what they want then.
If they don’t, Frankenfoods, the bane of every Luddite, are coming to their plate.
There is one more option:
I could not tell if this was a pickup or a delivery.

Robert Zoellick, President of The World Bank, said in April that global food prices have risen 83% in the past three years because of competing biofuel uses. He’s called upon the EU to suspend its biofuel goals, and the Brussells crowd refused. Starvation, of the kind now possible in places like Haiti, where food prices have risen 45% since 2006 because of the diversion of food crops to fuels, is happening right now.
Of course, the EU crowd, like the global warming loons in general, hold to their poverty-class sympathies as long they don’t interfere with their middle and upper-middle class comforts. The religion of The Church of Climate Change requires the death of millions to fulfill it promises. As for Europe, the advance of radical Islam is seeming more and more like a proper penalty for European “influence” in the catastrophes of the 20th century, and the catastrophes about to take place. One has less sympathy for them all the time.
Or maybe it’s the hygiene products. sometimes i can’t tell if the green tea, berry, cinnamon i washed myself with is a soap, or a salad. and Fructis doesn’t smell like apples for nothing. i’m starting to think i should drink my shampoo.
At least we’ll have tomatoes, VW!

VW:
A more cynical and suspicious person (or one who understands how the Progs work their schemes and frauds) would conclude that the opposition to genetically modified food crops (which they will never abandon, despite any evidence showing these things are generally safe, or need for improved crop yields) along with the support of so-called biofuels, was designed from the get-go to drive up food prices and limit availability, thus achieving the conditions for what the Progs propose as a solution, that is rationing and ridding America of the Middle Class.
