Re: Food Prices Up - A Result of Biofuels?

Interesting viewpoint...  The only thing I would say in response would be that while junk food, and tobacco are taking up the potential resources for food I'm still concerned with the time factor to resolve those.  The farmers obviously made the switch to growing for biofuels fairly quickly.  I'm only worried that the amount of time it would take to replant what are today's tobacco and "junk food" oriented waste of land to plant for food for the hungry.  It seems to me that there should be some global consideration for the decision factors of what to grow beyond just the scope of national concerns or there will potentially be an epidemic of starvation around the world.
