I get SO tired of hearing this plain wrong notion. Bio-fuels from food crops do NOT reduce the available food supply, they increase it.
Whether it be corn or soybeans, the demand generated for biofuel results in additional crop acreage being planted and harvested over and above that for normal food usage.
Only a part of the whole bean or corn kernel is converted to fuel, the rest is perfectly consumable AS FOOD, either by humans or by livestock.
I am for farmers having the opportunity to make their crops into anything they want.
I am also against any mandate that makes someone buy something someone makes.
“Only a part of the whole bean or corn kernel is converted to fuel, the rest is perfectly consumable AS FOOD, either by humans or by livestock”
Then stop subsidizing it and mandating it. If the market supports it, it will survive on its’ merits
