The whole ethanol experiment starved out alot of people.

PA, if you are going to post this nonsense at least try to do some homework.

Ethanol is made primarily from corn.

We have so much overproduction of corn that the government subsidizes farmers to grow it.

I have access to a remote farm with woods, and books on how to do almost anything I need, including building my own tiny hydroelectric plant, and bicycle powered generator. So if things get bad, I'm just going to do what I've wanted to do ALL my life, live a quiet life where I do my best to be self-sufficient. Raise goats, make cheese, and weave cloth.

Considering that the only way that food production will falter is a nation wide natural disaster, which to be quite honest, would be on the magnitude of the Yellowstone super volcano erupting and covering the grain belt in a few feet of ash.

This food shortage stuff has been predicted for every year since 2000.

Personally, I would recommend all you non-smokers worry about the coming nicotine riots caused by smokers not being allowed to smoke. With all the recent no smoking ordinances being passed, eventually there will be a mass nicotine fit and all of us will go on a rampage stringing up nonsmokers by their big toes and beating them senseless with no smoking signs.

You have been warned.

You have the fags, but we have the numbers, mate.
