YES IT SEEMS TO ME TO USE FOOD GRAINS FOR FUEL TO LOWER THE PRICE, AND THEN PAY IT OUT AGAIN AT THE GROCERY COUNTER DOES NOT SEEM TO BE VERY SMART.. I HOPE THIS IS A TEMPORARY SITUATION TILL A NON FOOD ITEM CAN BE CONVERTED TO FUEL ... SURELY THE RICHEST SMARTEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD CAN DO THIS....IF WE DON’T WE WON’T BE EITHER VERY LONG.. THE ARABS WILL OWN US ALL....

I’d really love to see Indian govt rethink about alternative fuel and food sources. because rising fuel prices are helping nobody
