re: But, with more and more of it going to ethanol, there's less and less for the worldwide starving peoples.

True, and the price is up. Corn is OK as a stop gap but we need to explore all alternatives, and I think that is starting to happen.

And already there is a corn lobby that will try to stop it. The rural areas of this country are seeing their first decent economic spirt in decades. A whole industry has sprung up around corn ethanol. Any transition from corn to another agricultural product will have to be done carefully and slowly.
