Your favorite cut of prime beef, has gotten scarcer thanks to increased ETHANOL production. (Thanks gov't and ADM )
Farmers have been forced to switch to alternative feeds, other than corn, because the price of corn has gotten so high. The cows are skinnier, and lean. Fewer good cuts left.
Restaurants out east are having hard time keeping on menu (though in Kansas it might not be as hard, but who lives there ????.....just kidding ...)
OTIS.

It is all madness, people are trying a loosing proposition to begin with, why not build more dams or nuclear plants and run everything on electricity, leverage the existing wires as if transporting the biofuel is free, now they will also build also a completely new infrastructure. In the mean time, the cost of the food is going up for everyone, more people are starving in Africa in the mean time, thanks so that we can continue to burn that expensive fuel in the traffic jams with the 5500cc V12 engines...
