Biofuels and Related Consequences Responsible for 75% of Food Price Increases

That's bullshit.
US Gov't backed Corn Ethanol and Soy Bioldiesel, perhaps.
Not BioFuels on their face though.
And besides, it's not the USA's responsibility to feed the world who cannot feed themselves. We don't need to create a world filled with serfs and beggars. Programs that help them to become self-sufficient I can support. Food aid, I cannot. It's the proverbial fish you give a man-- he only eats for a day.
Our current food distribution model is broken and needs to be totally overhauled.
