World grain supplies are at record lows in spite of record crops and record high prices!

It just dawned on me.
Someday, "Big Farma" will become the new most hated monster, taking the place of "Big Pharma" and "Big Oil".

Using up our food and available drinking water to make fuel is now subsidized by the politicians and environmentalists who in return are subsidized by the "Big Farma" companies.

This is such a crock.
And the public is swallowing it hook line and sinker.

But so far, who can be against the little farmers and pure ethanol compared to filthy crude oil?
So the cronies get a free pass.
After all they are just trying to help.
