I was reading on the Internet an article titled “How to end the Global Food Shortage.” The article was explaining that the US Government subsidizes the US farmer fifty one cents per gallon to divert their corn to biofuels. The article was also explaining that a lot of the third world countries could grow a lot more of their own food if they could get a little bit of help with getting good seed, fertilizer, and irrigation techniques.
I was very disappointed to read that the US Government was subsidizing the farmers to divert their corn from the food market. Other plants can be used to make biofuel that are not part of the world’s food supply. Is there no end to the stupidity of the Government?
