It is a direct question that not all have thought through thoroughly…this is just a small list of the by-products produced through the private sectors capitalist ideas that have made our lives better for the most part…
So denying the world of a consumable is far better then using a non-food product by-product…think about that.
Animals, livestock, and people all consume CORN!
Giving up items that make life convenient to living a life of self-imposed hardship because of a few pie in the sky ideas of the perfect Utopia…I do not see that happening, good luck with that one though
Agreed it is the transference of Wealth on a Global Scale…drive Americans back to the days of pioneers and the bring the rest of the world up to those standards of the Pioneers….Social Equality sucks don’t it.
Social Justice just might seeking that way of live back to the Caveman—-wait isn’t that Warren Buffet’s commercial for GEICO so easy a caveman could do it……
When the world no longer has hungry people then we can discuss using "FOOD ITEMS" not until then…so quick to criticize yet the only response is to use sustenance that sustains life of all types for items of convenience….
well done Marie Antoinette would be proud…use beans and corn –protein and manna (bread)!
Oil Prices have not been reasonable since Jimmy Carter was President…
The Jimmy Carter administration began a phased deregulation of oil prices on April 5, 1979, when the average price of crude oil was US.85 per barrel (42 US gallons). Over the next 12 months the price of crude oil rose to .50 per barrel (its all time highest real price until March 7, 2008.)
