Dear Duffman,

While you are correct about the food distribution problem, and the hunger it causes, it does not change that fact that the U.S. used to be a net exporter of food, and we recently became a net importer. Yes, the U.S. no longer grows more food than it eats. That is not just a distribution problem. Topsoil erosion and aquifer depletion are serious now, and getting more so, rapidly.

Why waste those difficult to replace ag resources just to make ethanol from corn?
