World food shortages are beginning to become a major topic. I was reading a newspaper covering Asia, and the article was blaming biofuels for food
shortages in Asia. Say What! Asia's primary food source is rice. Are they making biofuels out of rice?
Most countries in the world are in fact trying to generate foreign capitol ( in the form of USD or Euros) so that they may be able to afford oil which
coincidentally , yeah right, happens to be traded in those currencies. Since rice is not a cash crop and one that will lose you money when it's not
being eaten all countries with trade deficits ( largely due to oil and similar commodities) try to generate as much capitol by having absolutely no
incentives for their farmers to produce any more food than is necessary bargaining that any food shortfalls can be made good by local food suppliers
purchasing it on the world markets. Obviously when oil gets more and more expensive food production slows even more as it's a ever bigger loser as
compared to the heavily subsidised European and American products.
Last I heard, corn, soybean, and sugar are the major food sources being used for biofuels,
And since they are now being turned into wasteful bio fuels they are no longer on the world market thus leading to food shortages in those countries
that were dependent on buying these relatively cheap goods subsidised , strangely, as they were by the American taxpayer.
and old fryer grease, which the U.S. has no shortage of. Why are biofuels being blamed for the growing food shortage? The fix is
in.
Old fryer grease? Do you honestly believe that is worth mentioning in terms of volume? Bio fuels are being blamed because they are partly responsible
as farmers and others are now once again stockpiling those in the hopes that gas prices might rise even further....
This growing food shortage was predicted by the site dieoff.com.
Because that is why they do? Don't you think that the people, and i use the term loosely, who are planning the depopulation ( well most of us will
have to go apparently) of the planet have the power to affect at least part of the result they are forecasting?
It is scary how quickly this crisis is developing. What I have I read tries to blame biofuels, rather than the true relationship between oil
prices and food prices.
It's scary how effective these long term plans are and just how inhumanly efficient they seem to be at bringing about so much suffering and death,
yes.
What you have read is not accurate as it apparently failed to make clear that both oil and food prices are currently heavily manipulated to affect
the outcomes we see happening today. These things could not have happened so fast UNLESS it was in fact being planned.
