On
the breadline

Even rich countries are not
immune to the price hike. In the UK, for example, there is a debate
over biofuel.
According to the Guardian,
as of April 2008, 2.5% of the diesel and petrol sold in the UK
must be made of plants, because apparently, we're running out of
oil. This figure is expected to grow to 5.7%.
The agrochemical
industry, always quick to capitalise on these things, is
now engineering crops that can be used for food and feed
as well as biofuel.
Either way, that
industry wins. And we get screwed.
