Reading response 9-Carrots and Nuts? No thanks, I’ll walk.

“Fast Food,” by Mike Rdsenwald is an entertaining and mind blowing article. It is aimed at everyday people. The title tricks you into thinking that maybe it another McDonalds article or something when it fact, its about eco friendly, biodegradable formula one racecars! It is effective because the title catches you and the article keeps you reading. Its almost so unbelievable that you have to finish reading. The implications are that we may be moving into an age where you can you your garden to build a car (at least most of a car anyway). I have to wonder what this could potentially do to the cost of food. Its like the demand for corn when ethanol was new. Corn was not only used for food but for fuel as well and this drove up the price of corn because it was being torn so many ways. What should we expect for the price of carrots and vegetable oil? I would like to next research the viability of using vegetables and nut shells as car parts. How cost effective is this process and is it a good economic tradeoff? What are the opportunity costs that go along with this and could the funds be better spent on a more efficient process?
