Burn less not eat less   

This morning I bought the number from July 2011 of the Scientific American magazine. Let's say that is not the cheapest magazine here in Holland, but it seemed to have some cool subjects to "attack" during metro travelling.

One of the articles is about the recent food "crisis" and what are the real causes of it. It seems that it's not because the world population keeps growing and the production falls behind, but because the demand of biofuels has increased a lot.

I must say, if this is true, doesn't look like a very smart way to use resources.
