Corn Free

Call me a heartless sadist…but I think the prices of gas and food are perfectly pitched. Americans are huge cows who drive too much. Shouldn’t they be on bicycles? Eating as little as possible?

And, maybe then consider not having another baby since it costs so much to feed it?

Look, in the eleventh grade they taught us rudimentary economics: supply and demand. The demand for basic resources is increasing because of population-gone-wild. Naturally, the costs for food and energy are going to rise. IT’S A CORRECTIVE MEASURE. BE GRATEFUL.

And put down that fork. And go for a walk.

I've had similar thoughts, but the problem is the Americans who consume the most (the wealthy) are the ones who are going to suffer the least if they have to pay more for gas and food.
