I believe that two apples is enough good quality carbohydrate energy to pedal 14 miles. Instead, the price of corn is causing milk, eggs, bread and the cereal prices to leap. By the end of summer milk in Arkansas is expected to be up to $4.65 a gallon before leveling off. Leveling off. This means the price will stay there. The cause? The price of corn feed due to demand. As long as the fuels we use in cars rely on a combustion process the greenhouse gases will persist. So I anticipate our Congress will lead us from the expensive gasoline, green house gases and the largest global percentage of obese citizens today to the expensive gasoline, equally expensive alternate fuels, expensive dairy products, continued green house gases and still the largest global obese population of tomorrow. That is unless they get it in gear and pass laws that enable Americans to use their bicycles and alternative transportation more for those short trips under 5 miles when honestly possible.
