Yeah, that's very true. And it baffles me how people can complain about the effect of biodiesel crops on global food supplies, when biodiesel crops occupy only a fraction of the land used by even more useless tobacco crops. If it ever does come to a point where global food production can no longer keep up with production, tobacco and other drug crops should be the first to go, rather than biofuel crops. If a country like China converted all of their tobacco production to grain production, it would go a long way to covering their own grain deficit.
