It was one thing when ethanol mandates was just increasing the price of milk, beef, and other staple foods.  It was obviously something even worse when it was killing poor people in other countries.  But now... now the cost of tequila is going up!

Ethanol demand has doubled corn prices, making it more profitable than agave.

About one-quarter of those who grow agave, which is used in the production of tequila, are expected to burn their fields to make way for corn, as prices have nearly doubled from what they were a year ago, due to US ethanol demand.

Look... you want to try to save the world... fine.  Go ahead and try.  But don't you dare take away my tequila!  Via Dizzying Intellect.
