How many people will die of starvation/mass murder in order to keep cars rolling down the highways?
And will you be next? Why should you be allowed to eat food that could have fed an SUV?
Are you really of so much value that you're worth allowing to live?

Government officials had handed over 20,000 hectares surrounding their area to an Italian businessman who wanted to grow sweet potatoes and sunflowers to produce biofuels for European cars. The project would displace whole villages, destroy grazing areas for cattle and desecrate the local cemeteries and mosques. Fanaye is not an isolated case. Over the past few years, nearly half a million hectares in Senegal have been signed away to foreign agribusiness companies.
