FYI: 78% of of our corn crops goes to animal feed. Around 20% is used for human consumption. What we export to rich countries goes to feed livestock. Some countries that would need our corn won't even allow it becuase it's genetically altered. So in short this argument that corn should not be made into fuel because we can't feed people is pure political BS.
