Let Haitians eat dirt!

This is what the insane policy to convert food into fuel for cars has brought the poor of Haiti. All they can afford to eat is dirt!  I would like to know why farmers now making twice as much on what they are growing cannot be donating something to charities to help feed these people? Where also are all the concerned greenies contributions when their own hype helps to create these real world crises?

Haiti (AP) - It was lunchtime in one of Haiti’s worst slums, and Charlene Dumas
was eating mud. With food prices rising, Haiti’s poorest can’t afford even a
daily plate of rice, and some take desperate measures to fill their bellies.
Charlene, 16 with a 1-month-old son, has come to rely on a traditional Haitian
remedy for hunger pangs: cookies made of dried yellow dirt from the country’s
central plateau.
