What I was suggesting is that there is an impression about that food crops used for fuel production is totally lost to the food web and this is not so.I take your point re prices and I would not think that farmers are behind the rise in food costs,it is the midllemen and speculators as usual.They are hyping up a problem of supply and the farmer and consumer are the loosers.Another thing to mention is that cattle over here are for the most part out on grass for much of the year and the grains are a suplementary feed.Feedlots as such are few and far between in my neck of the woods.
