...need to vent.

I came home yesterday after working out and told Ryan we needed to go to the store & buy more fruits and veggies. We got to talking about food, which turned into gas prices and ethanol. Sometimes I don't like to listen to new things the country is doing, because it's all about politics and I'm not a fan of the subject. Well this time I listened to what Ryan was saying about Ethanol and how the price of wheat, corn, grains, etc. have gone up in price 200%. WHAT?! Then he tells me that he found out that you could feed a family for a year with how much grains and corn it takes to fill up one tank of Ethanol. ARE YOU KIDDING ME???!!! I should have been paying attention to all of this, but haven't. I understand that gas prices are going up, and believe me if I could find something to help that from happening I would. But here we are trying to find the best thing for us, when people all over the world are being effected by this. Do we not realize that we already have starving people in the world, and we're taking even more away just to fill up our luxury cars so we can be comfortable and not have to walk around anywhere?! I'm sorry, but this really ticks me off!! I will be happy to ride a bike or walk each day to work if it means it would help.

Anyway, Looks like we'll need to buy our grains for food storage right away. We have really been stocking up on other things for our food storage, but we haven't done the grain part yet.

I stopped to think about all of this and realized that these are definitely the signs of the times, here comes the famine(is that how you spell it?)
