Poor Mexicans are finding it even harder to scrape by thanks to soaring prices of tortillas (due to soaring prices of corn) due to high demand for corn that is being made in to bio-fuels to power hippies in America.
The Times reports that "Mexico now imports much of its corn from the United States, where prices have rocketed 80% to their highest levels in a decade last year due to demand for corn-based ethanol fuel."
Interesting that in the quest to feed the world, and be green and tree huggy, that hippies demands for these bio-fuels is causing hunger.
