The headline reads:

World Bank: biofuels push food prices up 75 percent

The article starts off with:
Demand for biofuels in Europe and the United States has forced up food prices 75 percent around the world, according to a World Bank report that was leaked and published in The Guardian newspaper on Friday.

Duhh!

The United States was once called "the food basket to the world". But now, stupidly, we take one of our largest Ag exports: corn; and say we're slating it for use as biofuel? No wonder food prices are up. Again, we have seen a country of innovation and genius become: (place your description here) and we go off and do a stupid thing like this. Corn ethanol has an extremely low energy output to energy input ratio as opposed to other higher energy producing biofuel sources such as sugar cane and switch grass. Yet we ignore these facts and do it anyway. Duh! How dumb are we?
 
It is our own fault that we and the rest of the world are paying such higher prices for food. Yet, what are we doing about it? Besides, corn ethanol can only replace up to 3% of the oil we consume. Duh! Duh! Duh! What are we doing here exactly?

There are other things proven to perform better. Yet, are we supporting these things? Why are we not? Duh! Perhaps it would be different if all Americans were given an equal share of the oil profits from our own companies. Obviously we are not. Obviously it is because of big oil and our own leaders here in the United States that we are denied the cleaner, far better solutions to our energy problems. A better question is perhaps: Do we have an energy problem? Or have we created a so called energy problem? A problem that we as a nation refuse for some reason not to solve and solve quickly?
 
We have supposedly elected our own representatives to government. These are people who are 'supposedly' serving our interests. Our elected officials are 'supposedly' serving the interests of the people (the masses) and not the interests of the few. Yet that is exactly what we are allowing to happen now, is it not? Duh!

Obviously we do not mind paying more for fuel, more for food, more for everything involving oil and corn biofuel. It must be just a few malcontents that are complaining loudly about it. They must be among the few who are poor and who are having a difficult time handling these cost increases ...is that right? Because obviously, we, the people are not complaining at all, or we the people are not complaining loudly and strongly enough to make our representatives do the job they were 'elected' by the people to do. Everything is fine for the majority of the people of the United States. Hunky dory. Just fine. Piece of cake. No problem. Couldn't be better. Right?

Duh!
