HUMAN Vs. VEHICLE
The grain required to fill a 25-gallon sport-utility vehicle tank with ethanol could feed one person for a year, the World Bank said.
Just think about this. I mean really think. I just can’t even begin to describe how mind boggling it is. How many times a week does a person with the average commute in such a vehicle fill up every week??? And yet human beings die every day from hunger and malnutrition.
