Does anyone else think that producing bio-fuel rather than feeding people is ludicrous?

Apparently, the Onion does.

I know we make jokes about it, but in truth it's kind of scary, isn't it?

I mean, we're now FEEDING our cars instead of feeding people.

And, I live in Kansas City, of which there is probably a photo of, next to the definition of "urban sprawl." So, I guess I'm a part of the problem.

Hi Waldo, good to hear from you!
The thing is, I wouldn't have a problem 'feeding my car' if there was enough food for people. Problem is, there isn't. We're heading rapidly into large food price increases around the world - and regardless of the price of gas (which is 75% taxes, by the way...) we have a clear responsibility to put people FIRST.
