“The sinister idea of converting food into combustible was definitively established as the economic line of the foreign policy of the United States. Apply this recipe to the countries of the Third World and you will see how many people among the hungry masses of our planet will no longer consume corn… Or even worse: by offering financing to poor countries to produce ethanol from corn or any other kind of food no tree will be left to defend humanity from climate change.” – Fidel Castro, quoted from his first editorial after recovering from his 2006 surgery.
