Population growth, alternate use of edibles, the skirmishes between the food program workers and the hungry warring factions, climate changes due to pollution, shortage of supply and above all the energy crises are the issues that are not only difficult to solve but also reversely affect each other. If one issue is resolved the other is catalyzed by this redemption. If we try control the pollution by using the corn and other edibles the ozone layer is saved but the humanity is harmed due to shortage of food.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02960613521772163849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413935813892441553.post-19065086550702393002011-02-28T22:13:17.781-06:002011-02-28T22:13:17.781-06:00The massive production of ethanol from corn and bi...The massive production of ethanol from corn and biodiesel fuel, largely from soybean oil is an immoral phenomena. This is the first large scale conversion of food to fuel in the history of mankind. While temporary small scale food food shortages will always take place due to adverse climate conditions, this is the first government (tax-payer) supported, intentional and deliberately-created world food shortage which will continue to escallate. This will directly result in wide-spread starvation among subsistence populations who spend large proportions of their meagre incomes on food to survive. <br />It will eventually negatively affect the rich also due to the unrest around the world and the cost and misery associated with subduing large desperate masses of people in numerous countries.<br />This immoral madness must be stopped.markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01552313977171351497noreply@blogger.com
