Ok, so I posted a while back about the concerns of ethanol and the price of corn in the US. The house recently passed a law mandating the increased use of biofuels which includes corn. I guess we not only have to worry about corn prices, but prices of beef/pork/chicken since they all feed on corn as well. Maybe, the higher meat prices will force people to eat more vegetables...nah, pork tastes so f'n good :)
