There is a big push these days to use oil to grow food then turn that
food into fuel so you can drive to the store and pay more for basic food.
But some people feel great about pumping food into their tank rather
than oil <g>.

If it makes you feel good to drive your food rather than eat it then
good for you, I'm just bummed that the food prices are going way up
these days. I used to worry about being able to buy gas, now it's if
I can afford bread. No humor.

There is more to be said but the Vanagon list is not the place, even
if it is Friday.
