As we are making decisions about who we will vote for in the upcoming election, if you follow this blog you should consider the presidential candidates stances on farm policies. Sounds like the candidates will have to be kicked in the face before they seriously consider that our food system needs revolutionary changes. Starting with dropping subsidies and laying down the law on pollution. On another note, I thought it was strange that the author still thinks that ethanol was the sole cause of the food shortages in the past year. It really was not a substantial cause, as I noted in an earlier article. Food shortages were linked directly with the increasing cost of transportation, or fuel prices, and increased demand for food with decreased production.
