Are you willing to stop eating meat to allow more grain to be used for biofuel production?

Question

Pilgrims Pride, a large chicken processing company, is closing some of its complex due to feed costs. All meat will become more expensive as more grain is made into fuel. Bread, cereals and baked goods will become very expensive, too. Is the world ready for this?

Answer 1

The world is NOT ready for biofuels because of shoddy growing practices.

Answer 2

GRAIN SHOULD NEVER BE USED FOR BIOFUEL PRODUCTION.

THIS IS AS MUCH A SCAM AS GLOBAL WARMING AND PEAK OIL.

Answer 3

sure, less meat for me! =)

Answer 4

The mash left over from biofuels production can and is being used as animal feed.    It's just another excuse for a company to blame someone else for a plant closure.

Answer 5

I don't make a habit of eating meat.Specially red.Yuck.I don't like the way their killed.Bird is the next option.That is getting rare too.The world is going down hill.

Answer 6

Start using gas without ethanol, and eat the chickens.

Corn is being diverted to ethanol because the government helps pay for it. Consequently the actual cost of E10 is more costly than what you pay at the pump.

Now, the cost of beef etc. has dropped because the ranchers can't afford to feed corn. Once the beef supply gets low enough, the price will sky-rocket. The same will happen with pork and poultry.

All this is because we can't develop the oil fields we have because of environmental decisions.

Answer 7

It's very bad and greedy of us to put our need for transport fuel above the needs of the world's hungry people which is essentially what we are doing with biofuels. We should concentrate on food production.

Answer 8

Nope

Answer 9

Nope, I loves meat

Answer 10

Biofuel processes need to be improved before we start giving up so much of our food source resources.

Answer 11

I don't eat meat.

Answer 12

Ethanol isn't good and one fuel tank can feed a human being for a year.

YOU KNOW WHAT! The Amazon is being cut not for food! BUT FOR SUGARCANE GROWERS TO PRODUCE ETHANOL!

So which one do you want? "Clean" fuels to be produced to offset a hoax or the Amazon rainforest?

Answer 13

Yeah, it's a mess.  Ethanol is more costly to produce, is less efficient and more polluting than other fuels.

Also it takes 450 lbs of corn to make a gallon of ethanol and that's enough to feed you for a year.

Converting food to fuel is wrong and should be stopped, but the environmentalists have hijacked the politicians and they're all in on it now.  They subsidize each gallon with a dollar tax that we have to pay.  It's insane.

Another disastrous by-product of the man-made global warming hoax.
