    Food shortage NOT due to bio fuels

    By Slrman  |  Posted April 23, 2008  |  João Pessoa, Brazil
     

    Brazil is one of the

    world's biggest users of bio fuel and there is no food crunch here.  All gasoline in Brazil is 25%

    ethanol made from sugar cane.  Most newer cars are bi-fuel and will run

    on gasoline, 100% ethanol or any mixture of the two.  For years, many

    cars have been 100% ethanol only.  So, if there were a food crisis

    brought on by bio fuels, we would have felt it here years ago. 

     

     

     

     

    Nor have we seen any dramatic surge in food prices.  Only that which can be accounted for my rising fuel costs and normal inflation is an improving economy.
