With a bumper crop in grain this year one would think beef would go down because the price of grain down! Not so thanks to our government knowing what is best for us by taking the feed grain and mandating it be turned into alcohol for an additive to gasoline. By doing so the price of gas is higher, gas mileage is lower (adding more pollutants to the air by lower mileage not to mention the polution created during the production of the alcohol), it damages any fuel system not designed for it and has driven the price of grains for livestock up and thus what we pay for it! And all of this is suppose to be better for us overall, someone explain to me how all this is better for us!!
