<<Forget what biofuels have done to the price of foodstuffs>>

Yep, the box of Cornflakes now costs a nickle more since the cost of corn has risen. Now out of that $5 box there is 10 cents worth of corn.

Only 10% of the corn grown in the US is used for food.

Not only is ethanol a scam but IL is getting so much rain it may not have a corn crop this year. Iowa has the same problem. 2 of our largest corn producers.

Yeah lets mandate 15% ethanol.
