Interesting thought (basically the same reason that I gave up meat 6 years ago), I am curious how many American meat-eaters would give up the habit if it ever came down having your choice between meat or energy but not both. Frankly, I can't imagine meat remaining a staple for much longer as it is just not a sustainable food source. And we didn't discuss the water that is also wasted, polluted and diverted in the process of raising animals for slaughter. The American obsession is cheese is another that just amazes me. I wonder what that price is a pound of cheddar would be were it not for farm and fuel subsidies. $.02, _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/
