agreed......look at food labels, how many are sweetened with "high fructose corn syrup"? When the price of corn went up, the farmers are forced to feed other grains to livestock, so the price of all other grains went up substanially too! Corn > ethanol is taking food off of our table, either directly or indirectly.
And, corn > ethanol is NOT sustainable for the long term. Maybe with switchgrass or some other feed stock. Time will tell.
