Crops, mainly grains, affect the cost of Eggs (as chickens eat grains), meats (again chicken, beef, pork). Then there is the absolute basic . . . Bread. I have a Flour company and the cost per bushel went from $4.50 to $18.00, all due to Bio-Fuels and Ethanol. A people that values fuel over food on the table soon has a bigger problem. Funny how when we send aid around the world it is the form of foodand not fuel, as food is the absolute most basic and essential of our needs. Try carving up a gallon pof gasoline at Thanksgiving rather than a Turkey. Let's also consider that bio and other food-fuel additives have not lowered the cost of gas or deisel at all. BUT they have conbtributed to higher food costs, plus higher cost to triuck foods to market. Plus our good friends in China are gobbling nup Fuel and Food at an unbelieveable rate. And they call Americans big uses of natural resourses. China makes us look like Luxembourg. Good luck.

If everyone using regular oil heat switched over to bioheat's b5 blend, 400 million gallons of regular oil heat could be conserved. That would make leaps and bounds towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions! Amazing right?<BR/><BR/>I know I am feeling the heat on groceries, I would go to the grocery and pick up a few items for a quick meal, and it would come out to over 30 bucks! It's ridiculous, but I try to be as frugal as possible with my grocery shopping, without having to sacrifice nutritional value.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1324936308527819561.post-66236193097812356592008-05-20T08:15:00.000-04:002008-05-20T08:15:00.000-04:00Hi Angela, Agree on all the info. availabloe to k...Hi Angela, Agree on all the info. availabloe to kid's today. As for Bio fuels,I have rwad all this data for years and said from day one, that when we have so little value for food that we are willing to burin it in our gas tanks and furnaces is the day a box of Corn Flakes cost $20.00. This is exactly what is happening now. Food costs are expected to sky-rocket over the next several months. All due to ethanol and bio fuels. Basically the grocery store is comepeting with Exxon and Mobil for farmers fields. I know the concept sounds good in theory, but the results are devastating on the dinner table.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1324936308527819561.post-27730554792958987422008-05-19T15:02:00.000-04:002008-05-19T15:02:00.000-04:00Yeah I know, right?

I almost feel outdated, but I'm slowly updgrading my bio-files to keep up with the times, lol. Speaking of keeping up the times, did anyone here get a chance to check out the link about bioheat? I really think it's worth making the switch! Check it out, and let me know what you all think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1324936308527819561.post-63888645317037144432008-05-19T08:35:00.000-04:002008-05-19T08:35:00.000-04:00Yes, I agree.

I'm really glad because I think it's so important for kids these days to start learning ways to better the environment they live in. After all, they'll be the ones left after we're gone and it's up to their generation to learn the value and importance of using sustainable resources. The younger generation have been brought up in the age of privilege, excess, consumerism, waste, etc so it's comforting to know that at least we're contributing t oo their green growth. I didn't see anything in the article about the school using heat alternatives. Has anyone here ever heard of bioheat? I think it's an amazing alternative to regular oil heat and it's just as efficient. Plus it's b5 blend is made of sustainable resources like corn, hemp, avocados, which I think is amazing that these resources can be used as a heat alternative. Does anyone think they'd ever switch to bioheat? I highly recommend anyone to look into it. Just go on to <BR/>http://oilheatamerica.com/index.mv?screen=bioheat to get more info. <BR/><BR/>I work with NORA to bring you this valuable information!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
