Corn is only "popular" for biofuel because it's subsidized by the federal government. Corn subsidies for ethanol share a good part of the blame for skyrocketing food prices, yet I haven't heard one presidential candidate address the issue.

It's about time the price of beer goes up. They tax the heck out of cigs why not tax the alcohol as well? It's shameful when a six pack of beer is cheaper then a six pack of sodas of the same size.

Why should soda be cheaper than beer or cigarettes? You have heard of childhood diabetes, haven't you? Obesity? Take a look around.

I'd like to grow organic hops and sell them to breweries so I can afford my beer again...

Where can you buy hops plants?

And beer or cigarettes are any healthier. At least I can drink a soda and drive after. Beer and Ciggaretts cause more health problems then sodas. Both beer and sodas are bad for you when you over indulge.. But then again so is chocolate. But I don't see the price of candy going up.
