Diba GMA is promoting the use of ethanol?
Hindi ba maka affect yan sa price ng food?
I mean.. ethanol producers will be buying food crops (sugar, corn etc)
So they will push up prices of those commodities.
Diba livestock feed is made of corn or whatever food crop?
so if the price of livestock feed goes up, price of beef,pork,chicken,dairy,poultry stuff will go up. tama ba?
So for our demand for lower fuel price, ang kapalit higher food price?

still, these crops do tend to take up agricultural space and resources.
ewan ko lang if cellulosic ethanol is the answer. it's supposed to use agricultural wastes to produce ethanol. pero not sure if anyone's doing it on a commercial scale, or if it's feasible to do so.

We also import onion, garlic, rice, chicken, apples...... we even import playboy. so it's going to be a no biggie if we prioritize our car fetish before our nations food supply.
