I really wish we could all get over the incidental edibility of corn. If the exact same piece of land was used to grow an inedible crop to make ethanol nobody would ever have argued food vs. fuel.

Endlessly whining that your fuel crop happens to also taste good with butter is like whining that you like to eat paste because it says nontoxic on the jar
