Les impacts sociaux de la production de plus de 65 milliards de litres de carburants végétaux sont rarement inclus dans les études évaluant ses effets sur l'environnement. Pourtant, c'est près de 20 % de la récolte états-unienne de maïs qui est transformée en éthanol (Leibtag, 2008; OCDE/FAO, 2007; Pimentel et Patzek, 2006). Or, ce maïs est la plus importante culture agricole aux ÉU et qui correspond à près de 40 % de la production mondiale de maïs (Kim et Dale, 2004).

Psychological dependence can be described as a compulsion or a craving to continue to take the substance because of the need for stimulation, or because it relieves anxiety or depression. Psychological dependence is recognized as the most widespread and the most important form of dependence. This kind of dependence is not only attributed to the use of psychoactive drugs, but also to food, sex, gambling, relationships or physical activities. 7, record 2, English, - psychological%20dependence

Unlike anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, ARFID is not characterized by a preoccupation with body shape and weight or by intentional weight loss behaviors. Instead, patients suffering from ARFID may be disinterested in food and eating, or may avoid foods because of a negative response to their color, texture, smell, taste or temperature. Individuals may also excessively fear unpleasant consequences of eating such as choking, gagging or vomiting (functional dysphagia) or exacerbated gastroesophageal reflux symptoms. 3, record 3, English, - avoidant%2Frestrictive%20food%20intake%20disorder
