Sorry
Corn grown for Ethanol is taking land away from corn grown for FOOD!
(What I meant!)
Less than 1% of corn grown here is of the kind used for human food consuption. And of that 1%, many years 500,000 tons of it ends up in landfills.
Hybrid corn is grown for animal feed, corn syrop production, and ethanol.
Increasing ethanol production increases animal feed production because it's the proteins from the corn that are used for making animal feed, not the starches.
More animal feed = more animals for food, not less.
And last I looked, I didn’t see any soda pop shortages, or fat people loosing weight because of any corn syrup production slow downs.
