		<description>Forgive me, but I thought a significant amount of biodiesel in this country was being refined from used cooking oil.  I have even seen company trucks collecting the stuff from restaurants.</description>

		<description>How does a switch to biofuel lower energy prices when biofuel is less efficient?  Biofuel was meant as a way to decrease energy dependence of oil, never meant to be a more efficient form of energy, because it&#039;s not.  A lot of companies use fossil fuel to power their ethanol plants in the U.S. because it&#039;s cheaper.  Also, land is limited, and you can&#039;t produce whatever you want however much you want, you should try to read more about the dust bowl.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t have any formal economic training but isn&#039;t this a good thing in the long run. I feel like in the short term we should plan quite a bit of humanitarian aid, but in the long run an increased food price is a good thing.



Assuming both 1 &amp; 4 are true then one way or another we must pay more to transport food, so switch to biofuel which will at least lower the energy prices.



Numbers 2 &amp; 4 will improve human health and so I would like to see those trends continue.



Number 5 we can&#039;t do anything about, but hopefully it is temporary.



Number 6 in the long run if food producers can make larger profits by selling food at a better price and by selling biofuel. If there is more money to be made people who work in agriculture will increase their purchasing power and improve their economy. Which according to the US government stats most of the developing countries have fairly large percentages of people working in agriculture. See link:

https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2048.html



Although alot needs to be done to ensure justice is respected and people stay alive long enough to enjoy it. This crisis may present more opportunity that disaster.</description>
