Bio-fuel to replace "fuel" (food!!) for Mankind

In a quite ironic development, a report prepared by one of the biggest financial institutions blames the (great) US and EU for pushing up the food prices alarmingly - and their contribution to the rise is almost 75%.

Guess what? The culprit is the "bio-fuel" which has become far more lucrative a "crop" compared to real food grains in these areas and what the great US have to say - increase in demand in India and China is pushing the food prices and for our information, bio-fuel thing contributes only 3% to this rise.

OK, accepted. We are poor, deprived and un-deserving lot for good food. But who has blamed these two parts of the world for pushing the food prices - "The World Bank" - the global bank (funded primarily by the US again). For further details check the news from "The Guardian" - the famous UK (!!???) news agency at the following link.

One can also refer to this news from CNET which also provides a report by some of the food manufacturers.

It seems that for us the less deserving lot, bio-fuel is going to fuel us lesser mankind and guess what.... it looks very much like another middle east rising and only this time in the west.

So how many of us are going to survive on bio-fuel??

The eternal search

Hello everybody...

Well, this is a bit off track, but a very valuable experience though...
I started looking for a house for myself at my new place and I realised how difficult the options can be.

I suddenly was having so many questions to answer before I decide and so many people to consult. It is like nothing ever before, where I had so many variables and dependencies.... I was really amazed.

How complicated can such simple things be at times ??

Keep in touch??

Apologies...

My sincere apologies for the delay. Well, at my new place, I am not able to access the net and somehow, my EVDO is also not working. But I have found this small place nearby to my hotel, where I am able to jot down some scattered thoughts.

The only problem is with the working hours and they are a bit odd in general. But I will try my best
to keep in touch.

One good thing that I find at my new place.... I get to see the not so good side (but of course, vital) side of our lifeline...the supply and demand chain and the need to keep moving at any cost...

The fight is still on...

Please keep in touch.
