We farmers don't run a charity. No one will starve if they have the money to buy food.Where were the whiners when I was selling corn for eighty nine cents a bushel. It is and always has been a case of supply and demand.Don't mean to sound heartless,because I am not.Lots of people freezing in the winter months.

Will corn usage for eth production cut into our food supply? Only if the users are not willing to outbid other users,which won't happen. Tons of misinformation out there, but that happens when people use emotion instead the power of reasoning to make decisions.
