And the food prices has seen prices growing in the third world becasue agricultural farm land is used to produce plants that are to be turned into gas to feed our thirsty cars. That is not queer anymore, that is straightout perverse.

Perverse doesn't begin to describe this ineffective practice.

If you want to know about special interests in the US run amok, look no further than the racket brought on by corn-growers.

WTF is it with this kind of thinking, I would gladly buy it and wash it myself.

Trouble is many today are just too lazy to wash/peel veg, or do not like the look of it just because it has a bit of soil on it.
