The creation of ³pure fuels² or biofuels to protect the environment and reduce oil dependence was not a bad idea, but its negative impact on hunger would be catastrophic, Mr. Ziegler said. When tons of maize, wheat, beans and other food staples were converted to fuel, food prices rose and arable land was lost to food production. Last year, the price of wheat doubled and of maize quadrupled. He said that, currently, 31 of 53 African States had to import food. As prices rose, the poorest countries could not pay, and the poorest people, generally living without access to subsistence farming, could not purchase more expensive foodstuffs. The amount of corn that needed to be burned to make enough ethanol to fill a single carıs fuel tank could fill a child for an entire year. |

You seem to be saying that growers have a moral obligation to produce food no matter the market forces involved. Why do you hate market forces? How many children could be fed with the corn used to produce the high fructose corn syrup that you consume Stevie? |

Well, the thing I don't get about this is that virtually every African state that can't feed itself is that way due to something like civil war, non-civil war, or being led by Robert Mugabe. Bad domestic policy has done far more to destroy African agriculture than ethanol. -- Ryan Cousineau rcousine@gmail.com http://www.wiredcola.com/ "In other newsgroups, they killfile trolls."

This has been a consideration that has been forcibly ignored for ages. Starving countries are fighting wars, and the only way their armies are able to stay in the field, and equipped is by international food aid, much of which has been sold off to buy ammunition and arms too. It happened with USAID and the VC, by the VC's own reports after the war. Giap stated that at times the only way they were able to keep fighting was by taking the aid from villages since they weren't getting enough through from China due to the interdiction of the supply system. Both Eritrea and Ethiopia have been found to be doing the same thing, except even worse because they are shipping it right back out in exchange for munitions while their people starve and it's ignored by the UN and world community for the most part. Food is used as a weapon quite naturally in most conflicts. Seige from ancient times on was based on starving the enemy into giving up. Why should that change for people at war? Treaties don't mean shit and noone but Europe, the US, Canada, and Israel is re4ally even held to any standards. Iran has signed every International treaty on protecting minors, and still continues to execute minors for homosexuality and other things regularly. I don't see any outcry to bring their leadership before the Hague. Same for Mugabe, Castro, etc...How many Khmer Rouge have actually been prosecuted? You can count them on fingers. One of the Hanoi Hilton folks who tortured McCain and others is getting play for endorsing McCain for Pres. No arrest warrant, no tough questions, just PR. I was watching closely to see if either Amnesty, or HRW would show any signs of outrage over the Taleban dragging those two folks out, and summarily executing them for supposedly spying in front of 5000 cheering folks. Nowhere to be seen, but lots on Gitmo, again. Haven't seen any calls for the UN folks to be brought before the Hague for the rapes, human trafficking, etc...by their "peacekeepers". All I've seen is the UN claiming blanket immunity for any actions during UN missions, especially in respect to the massacres in the Balkans. So, YEP, biofuels are definitely the real problem Ryan, and you just need to be less informed, and inquisitive. I'm beginning to get the feeling that biofuels, in the world food debate are taking the place that guns have in the crime debate. Easy to point at some article while society, policy, and history are purposely ignored. Bill C |

You know as much about African agriculture as you do about economics. The fundamental problem with Africa's food production, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, is poor soil fertility, exacerbated by climate patterns that aren't conducive to most of the modern high-yield crops. |

DING! DING! DING!! You are correct! I thought the USA was the only bad government! That is one of the reasons the USA is the BIGGEST supporter of the poor and needy than any other country in the world! BUT!! Now we are taking half of those crops we export to those countries for food and BURNING it to make ethanol for some utopian progressive ideals?!?!?! And now......... It contributes greatly to the starvation of millions! |

Dumbass - That is a good observation. The fundamental problem in many African nations is political instability/anarchy. It is a feature which, if present, overrides all others. thanks, K. Gringioni. |
