Makes prefect sense to me if the"food" we are talking about isn't for for human consumption anyway, AND doesn't displace did that is meant for the same.. Most of what I've heard about bring used isn't. I do agree that corn isn't the must efficient means of exacting fuel alcohols. There are cups which take less space, grow more densely, require less maintenance, etc.that would be better candidates, IMO.

One must also remember that there are meal grade solids left after the process which constitute animal feed, closing another waste stream, and providing a necessary commodity.
