The National Chicken Council has announced that chicken meat prices are rising quickly due to Obama administration policies requiring up to 40% of the corn food supply to be turned into fuel for cars.
The White House pushed for E15, a gasoline mixture that requires much more corn-based ethanol in gasoline. Unfortunately, corn is also used to feed chickens. By creating competition between food producers and fuel refiners, the cost of corn has risen to a point that major chicken farmers could not afford to produce as many chickens. Supply-demand – same demand, decreased supply = chicken costs more.
What’s worse is that the new E15 fuel causes major issues with cars’ fuel systems. The increased ethanol turns into a system-fouling gelatinous mess. Fuel pumps, hoses and other components expand, gum up or otherwise become inoperable due to ethanol’s inherent instability. Enjoy that tow truck bill after sitting on the highway for hours…
