Re: Biofuel battle at the UN: biofuels win
Do we actually send food aid to these oil rich countries that are making all kinds of money off of us? It seems silly for us to be doing that, though there was a food for fuel thing in at least some places right? If somebody could explain that, that would be great.
The numbers at the end of one of those articles are pretty amazing, the US has pledged 5 Billion (annually?) to fight worldwide hunger, and the nations that are "super prosperous" because of oil have only pledged 100 million. Something has to give. Our country is simply too generous, especially in this time of economic struggle.
If you aren't taking care of yourself, eventually you won't have the strength to care for others either.
