You implied that the production of ethanol was the cause of the run up in food costs when it only accounts for an insignificant percentage of the run up. I'm sure you'll now copy and paste some alarmist article about how big bad ethanol is causing hunger in some third world shithole. How about you try this
Find out how much of the
GLOBAL corn crop is used for the production of ethanol and then tell us how much effect it's had on the cost of your groceries. Do the same for the
GLOBAL wheat, soybean and rice crops. I'm interested to see how you connect the cost increases in these crops to ethanol production.
BTW, Bush isn't the only politician to support ethanol production but of course that doesn't fit with a simpletons view that Bush created all the problems this world faces over his last 8 years in office.
