If you knew anything about corn and soybean production agriculture, you would know that corn is NOT grown for food! It is grown to feed livestock or feed agricultural processing plants. I KNOW because I have worked in this the agricultural industry for over 23 years. All of you are highly mistaken in that the corn people eat is called "sweet corn" a genetic variety that is derived from the 1920's. It is less than .1% of the total USA corn crop and it has horribly small yields. The 99.9% of the corn grown in the WORLD is highly genetically modified corn from Monsanto, Sygenta, or DuPont. And for those of you who subscribe to "food shortages" are absolutely clueless. The world produces more food than what it can ever consume, this issue is an economic shortage of money to buy the food. Did you hear that? There is is more than enough food to supply the whole world and more with food, but food is not free whether you grow it in a garden or buy it on the world markets, economics demand that you buy seed and fertilizer. And, it takes a lot of labor. We have more than enough food to feed the world and PRODUCE BIOFUELS so stop the bullshit propaganda and if you are going to profess to be an expert its time you take a few classes and realize this country has a much longer of history of agricultural over production than not enough agircultural supply!
