Good points, and I very much appreciate your 'front line' information.

When growers switch from food crops to fuel crops, AND don't put the seed cake spent mash byproduct back into the food stream, then yes in that case biofuels are making the problem worse.

I still believe that most of the problem is that the 3rd world poor used to feed themselves, and now they rely on industrial agriculture and an ever more expensive infrastructure to put food in the market place.

As harsh and cruel as it might seem, this is an overpopulation problem solving itself.
