From the AP via the Columbus Dispatch:
"One of the consequences of this enormous shift of grain is that hunger and malnutrition, which were supposed to be declining during this period, haven't," said Lester R. Brown, the [Earth Policy Institute's] president and the author of the report. "They are now projecting that the 800 million people (living in hunger) will number 1.2 billion by 2025."
Brown said he believes the rapid rise in corn and grain prices during the biofuel boom is causing a slew of unintended consequences. Besides rising prices, the U.S. will ultimately export less grain, harming nations that rely on imports, he said.
