Not an opinion but a questions that I'd like to raise. There is currently a good deal of uproar, perhaps naturally justified,about the usage of "Food" and the underlying fertile soil for the usage of bio-fuels. The definition of food seems to end only at the final edible product.

In the case of co-generation plants such as this, they use feed(as stated in the article: "which will come primarily from yard waste, as well as industrial wood and fiber waste") that may be suitable to composting, which is something that can directly feed the food cycle.

The question then becomes are we selling all forms of food, ie full fledged plants such as corn as well as other biological products and byproducts to the highest bidders to burn, to re-manufacture, etc, etc. etc.? Is this a recipe for disaster or growth? Will this secondary food market impact the primary one which is the one that ultimately nourishes us? Will it overtake it? Should we leave it to "free market" forces to figure out or should this be a regulated market?
