I've grown tired of the sensationalistic journalists and on-the-take "experts" who have been kicking dirt on biodiesel. Besides raising the cost of transporting food products, $120/barrel crude affects the cost of fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides and a whole host of elements in our food chain. Add to this the dramatic increase in worldwide food consumption and the affect of biodiesel on food prices is too small to measure. I find it appalling how many policymakers are jumping on the food vs. fuel bandwagon when it is so clearly a manufactured lie. We need more food industry stakeholders, like the Missouri Dairy Association, to stand up and refute these contrived claims. Please, bring us more articles like this. Thanks! Here, Here!
