With food crops constantly being tainted during manufacturing and during the growing process, the supply has become very unstable. Farmers like to be secure with their investment, ethonal is a secure market. With the demand for fuel, there will always be a market. I like to think of the situation as a balance between food cost and fuel cost. Produce is alot more competative and parishable. Its more of a high risk to the farmer. without cheap fuel it is impossible for the farmer to produce a large enough crop to match the demand.

 

I think the best step we can take right now is to create equipment that run efficiently by burning natural gas. By my understanding it is plentiful in the United States.

 

This could be a solution rather than raising food costs.
