This is a pure myth or outright lie regarding the use of Corn to make Ethanol destroying the food supply. Only a couple percent goes to feed humans. The vast majority of Corn goes to feed cows. Ah-ha you say, by making it into ethanol you are taking it away from the cows. Actually, no. When ethanol is made all you are doing is turning the starch(complex sugar) part of the corn into alcohol. The cows digestive system does not use this anyway, it goes right through. In fact, it hinders the absorption of the nutrients in the corn. All of the nutrients that the cows need and normally use from corn remains behind in the mash which is the main byproduct of ethanol production. This byproduct, called Distillers Grains(DG) is fed to the Cows. DDG (Dried Distillers Grains) has all of the nutrients that the cows would have gotten from eating straight corn without the Starch that hinders digestion and produces more meat per pound of corn than feeding straight corn. The fuel for food myth is a lie propagated by the oil companies to divert interest in ethanol. But when you do your own research, you not only find that making ethanol from corn(which isn’t even remotely close to the best crop for ethanol) doesn’t harm the food chain at all but that it is beneficial in so many other ways that it is almost to good to be true. The caveat to this though is that mass scale production of ethanol is not the best way to do it and does lead to waste that is unnecessary. Small scale, co-op based ethanol production is far superior. You can right now go out and produce your own ethanol from things as simple as the leftover donuts from a donut factory, and the permit to make up to 5000gal. a year is free. Beyond that, so may people are starting to make there own that the BATF department that handles the permits is swamped and can’t keep up with the applications. Please, do your own research and listen to the people that are doing it themselves. Don’t pay much attention to the mainstream information about ethanol. Alcohol Can Be a Gas, there is even a book by that title that is based on years of first hand research and doing it. It debunks all of the propaganda. You would be doing yourself a huge favor to look into it.
