Agricultural commodities | Biofuelled | Economist.com
More ammunition showing that as food crops such as corn and soy are turned toward biofuels production, their prices have begun to reflect the (increasing) price of oil. Meanwhile, as more of the world's people become "well-off" enough to consume meat, the grains the steers, milk cows, and chickens feed on are in competition with biofuels cultivation and driving up their cost, so more for meat, poultry, eggs and milk.
Moral: Eat more produce, drive less.
