Corn''s key role as food and fuel

Jamie said in his book " Corn is one of the greatest and wonderful vegetables in the world "

Iagree his opinion.

Sweet corn is one of the my most favorite snacks, such as "puffed corn " , not popcorn ( ^^ )

According tothe recent BBC news,the price of corn is on the rise, is hitting new highs over the past 12 months.

IMF economist pointed to three factors as responsible for the spike in prices.

First, increased demand from emerging economies like India and China

Second, weather, Drought have had an impact insome part of the world

Third is the contentious relationship between food and fuel....

Cornprices ,according to the IMF, have doubled over the past two years, is due to demand for the biofuel, ethanl, and the way in which ethanol policy is made in the United States.

Corn is such an important ingredient in our food supply, high corn prices mean higher prices for all sorts of things you might not expect.

How imporant corn is to our diet; Corn pancake ; steak from cattle fed on tons of corn ; tomato ketchup flavoured with corn syrup ; and an egg- whose yolk is turned a rich yellow by feeding the chicken corn products....

Wow, It's amazing and wonderful effect, I realized it again today...

But, I love corn for ever and ever....
