"We really need to take care of the people in our own country first and make sure that everyone in the United States has enough food first."

In a country where 25% of the country is overweight I don't think USA has a problem feeding itself.

If America was truely a CHRISTIAN country, the world would not be in the mess it is in. When taking into consideration the amounts of money wasted in this war, time spent, we all could have been looking at the real issues facing the world, and the idea of accusing the rest of the world calling people who have different faiths Terrorist, with no evidence, it is called false accusation againt your neighbours. Investment in Transport, infrastructure, farming technology in and out of America, promote world peace. Desertification was being spoken about from the 1980's at world summits, did the G8 take it seriously Bush can not be blamed on a whole but Reagan & Clinton did not take these world issues seriously, nor did the rest of Europe, because they never saw it as affecting them. If there is less farming land globally, it is bound to affect food crops. & if the population is doubling, these are issues & if there are more cars on the roads & less public transport more Oil is required.

Population growth needs to be curbed, the world cannot sustain the numbers of people, fish stocks is depleating. Pollution of our rivers, our wild life is being distroyed. There is not enough clean drinking water for many in areas in the world. Using land that should be used for growing food crops to produce oil for cars, what is the use of a car while you are starving to death. This will be devestating to poor countries, whats the use of money with no food?. This is the thing about Politicans, they are the most notorious criminals most corrupt secretitive, explioters of the poor and vonorable peoples of the world. They do nothing for their country or their people or peoples else where for the good of humanity, but only ways of exploiting the weak to benefit the few.

Bio-fuels, another global warming crowd bad idea. We have plenty of oil. Democrats will not allow us to drill for it. We can use more nuclear powerbut liberals will not allow us to. Meanwhile, during this "food crisis" let's have those countries who produce oil pay for our abundant food with oil. We give food away with one hand and overpay for fuel with the other.

I am Brazilian, and totally disagree about blame to my country to biofuels. You are responsable with yours subsides for tragedy in the world. Stop to ruin agriculture in rest of world, there is no chance to compete with contruies that have sun 12 months a year.

I think helping other countries is great, but the United States needs to worry about their citizens first. Food cost is going up everywhere and there are millions of families right here that are struggling to buy food for their children. I am a single mom who also works full time and make way over minimum wage, and I still find it hard to afford food, gas and all the other necesities that my son and I need.

We really need to take care of the people in our own country first and make sure that everyone in the United States has enough food first.

Surely there is something immoral (though I understand it's to save the planet, reduce pollution etc. ) in using food, which is in short supply in developing nations, and using it to power cars in developed nations?

Lisa, London,

I just think it's really weird how Bush wants to make ethanol fuel from corn and feel sorry for the world hungry at the same time. Anhydrous ethanol as fuel is a joke even if it made crops grow larger and produce more food. I have called many of our leaders in Washington and talked to their energy experts none of whom knew what anhydrous or hydrous ethanol is. Here is a hint for you who are uninitiated in the secrets of todays energy issues. Brazil has a successful ethanol fuel program but only because they use hydrous ethanol. We use what?
