How can anyone say that using food for fuel and therefore changing supply vs demand wouldn't effect food? The corn isn't just eaten by us, it's eaten by the things we then eat, and isn't possible some land that might grow something else or some of our precious water is being wasted making fuel? So maybe there isn't a food shortage in our country but it certainly makes the food more expensive by the government mandating we use it for fuel rather then just letting the free market work out what is best.
