They’re absolutely right to worry about food and energy costs but not addressing climate change would probably increase both. […] I think biofuels are a very important part of the solution. […] If corn on a large scale leads to food shortages and an increase in food prices that’s a concern but my assessment is that’s not happening, on a large scale. The best solution would be for us all to become vegetarians because grains are used to feed cattle.

It’s heartening for the Grumpy Vegan to see a UN official catch up with what the animal rights movement has been saying for decades.
