....40 percent of the crop goes to produce 12.6 billion gallons of ethanol to meet the government’s renewable fuel standards. In other words, much crop land is being used to produce ethanol, not to produce food....

There it is in one sentence. The rest is BS. THIS is what is driving much of the food cost increase across the board. Again, the government shafting the public to play its games of eco-politics.

Even the 40% number is a load of crap, it's actually less than half of that, and has been fully documented here on FR time and agin.

Then there's this "Corn is nearly twice as expensive now as it was last summer -

Corn was $7.50 last summer, now it's $6.

Was there any need to read further?

Yes, the communist government has made many deals to make all things worse. And it won’t stop using the needed corn for food because it gets all money from it’s ethanol scam paid by WE THE PEOPLE, in many ways.
