This is the Western version of the story written by Fidel Castro on the United States plan to starve more than 3 billion people in the world because of their desire to produce fuel for their cars. The difference between these stories is that Castro's is more detailed while this one outlines in general terms how the concept is being operationalised. There is more suffering for the people in developing countries as they will toil to satisfy the needs of the US. If you want to know how, read Castro's article (Archive 04/01-04/08) titled "Bush ethanol plan threatens to starve 3 billion plus people worldwide" and see that the numbers do not add up. Even in this article, one can deduce, if viewed from the demand and supply position. The main word in this article is COST. There shall be severe COSTS especially to the already poor.
