October 24, 2007 (LPAC) -- George Bush's "insane decision" to replace 20% of gasoline with biofuel over 10 years is behind the recent price rise in food products, says Italy's number one pasta producer Guido Barilla -- only failing to give equal mention to Nobelist Al Gore in the promotion of this genocidal policy.

In an interview with the Italian daily La Repubblica Oct. 20, Barilla charged that Bush's decision "has unleashed a chain-reaction that has increased prices of all agricultural commodities."

"It is a monumental mistake, Barilla charged. "When I see ads of farmers saying they are proud to be growing energy, I shudder. You cannot use sacred commodities to feed SUVs."

The Italian Antitrust authority has begun an investigation of bread and pasta prices, which have increased by as much as 20% recently.
