I'll strike that black & white statement down with saying some of us who care about all those things, possibly more than most, fill the grey area with their belief in there being better ways to go about this. And corn was a renewable agricultural resource that is now turned into an oil industry resource. You have to think of the affects of that. And things like the rate corn depletes nutrients in the soil, how much ground required to grow/rotate, all the cleared land sitting bare most of the year causing global warming. For every plus there are negatives. We need to learn to look at both before leaping blindly ahead. That is what caused this whole situation in the first place
