From what I can figure, ethanol in gasoline is a bit loser, on so many
fronts. Takes food out of the food chain, and actually uses more energy than
it replaces. And I find that ethanol gasoline gets lower mileage. I'm
encouraged, that we're doing less to push the ethanol crap on our people.


"Takes food out of the food chain."

I don't see any grocery store shelves going empty. Have you? There's
plenty of beef, pork, chicken, fruits, vegetables, eggs, milk, flour,
dry goods, canned goods...

Sure the price of food has gone up a little,


A little? Look at a box of corn flakes, potato chips, or
beef lately?


but food prices were way
low in this country to begin with. It's about time we paid a little
more for our food.


If you want to pay more, just shop at the most
expensive store you can find. Leave the rest of
us alone with your crazy ideas. How about the
unemployed that are just scraping by? Why
should they or anyone pay more for food?




In some countries the cost of food is 90%+ of the household income.


We call those countries third world hell holes.



Here in the USA it's something like 10-15%. We spend the rest of our
money on toys and "bling" we don't really need.



Right, spoken like a true loon.
