Yes, I want to read a little more about the matter, but I can say you that here in Europe, Asia, and Africa, food has increased a lot. Just because the crisis with cereals as there is not enough. And egs, milk, chickens, meat, and nearly everything heve increased the prices as animals also eat cereals.

It seems that we, mankind, will wait the world to get into a new world war to do something about! Thanks Emiliano for your reading suggestion! I didn't know what food crisis around the world was all about . I live in a part of Brazil that people have good quality of life. I live in the south and here things are better than in the northeast and north of my country, but even there "in the top side of my country" nothing is bad as it's happening in Haiti or everywhere mentioned in the article. I suggest you to read "Bring on the Right Biofuels " times online 24 4. That's another point of view into the same newspaper about this issue! Greetings from Umuarama - Paraná - Brazil I always thought that the cure always arrives after the disease already killed the patient!

But I suggest you to read "Times on Line" as just today a large article about Food Crissis, and the news that Wal-Mart is starting to restrict sales of rice in USA (California) and other places, for the first time ever. Also tells some news about the food crisis in other places over the world, (also Brazil) and mentioned something about biocombustibles. Yes, I know what you mean when say that there some good examples of processing things such sugar-cane. or the using of bio combustibles by the bus in your cities which is more safe for enviroment. But there are lots of people that the only thing that have in mind is just to make money, and doesn't care to destroy lands to make sure profit and not to produce what is neccesary to feed humans or to take care of earth enviroment. Don't miss the article, in "Times on Line" today 24.4, please, It is very interesting. Greetings from Spain. Thank you Alvaro for your words, and your explanations.

Some people say we humans are the worst plague in the world and we all continue on destroying our beautiful planet! But we have enough land to produce food and biofuel here and brazil. There are a lot of things that the world don't know about how we do things around here. For example we are creating a new way of processing our sugar-cane so we can double our production with the same quantity of it. We have in the same time made records of production of food and we didn't only sell more because the products are subsidized there in the exterior. I just think that is not fair when something real good to everyone, that could help a lot, deserves this kind of treatment!That's a shame!

Cereals have desapeared and there are many nations that not have them to make bread, such Egypt, South Asia, North Africa, and so on. Here in Europe all products maked with ceareals have increased the price very very much.........and poor people haven't enough money to pay that increasement in prizes. So it's neccesary to have in mind carefully all this matters, and not because biofuel/biodiesel is cheaper and has less poluttions every body or nation goes to product it without thinking all the consequences. What we have to do is just stopped our big comsumption, leave the car at home most of the times, take public transports, not to go every weekend to the mountains, or to the beach 60 or 100 Km. from our city, not to shower so many times a week wasting drinkable water, not throwing away so many food, and just thinking the way of saving energy. Savage animals don't waste anything, they take only what they need to survive. of course we are a little different from them ...I don't know if to be worst, but if human want to survive on this earth I think it's neccesary to imitate the way that savage animals, or othert human cultures have treated their enviroment. Just take what your need or little more, and as less we nedd as much better to the Earth.

People don't even know what is it all about and say things, horrible things about them. I'd like you and all the world to see how can it be good for everyone, not because we brazilian are saying that is good, but because it really is. Preconceptions of all kind always make us less human! I’m sorry Gulls, but I’m brazilian and I really don’t know why people talk about biofuel or biodiesel as bad things!

The best course is still to reduce our consumption, recycle, reuse, and grow our own. It is much more difficult than it looks to figure out whether companies are legitimately green or not.
