How much wheat and barley goes into beer vs. bread? Do people drink beer in lieu of eating toasted cereal for breakfast? I don't think so. So there's millions of gallons of ethanol that Budwiser makes instead of fuel, and that can be argued it takes away from the food supply. These are just questions to think about. Like my sig. says, I don't have all the answers. But my point is, I hope people look deeper. You can find fault with anything we do.
I was just thinking about that the other day...
