A new battle front against David Blume and the FARMY has been waged
Well folks, you are being called liars.
Want to fight back? Here's the thread to organize around and set these propagandists straight. I suggest those of you with Gristmill accounts head over and let them know about your successes - they are throwing down a reverse straw man - the corn battle is so over and done with.
We all know you can make ethanol from many more crops! The average person, however, is still unaware and blames food prices on corn.
Ask them to name food made from corn, however - and they get stumped.
Funny how easy it is to debunk when you put it to people that way, isn't it?

Don't overlook that 90% of our corn goes into the belly of cows to make burgers and milk. Also, I heard David Blume state we have yet another surplus year in corn production, and of course, huge tracks of land we could use to grow even more crops, so the USA is nowhere near to maximum growing.

I'm not familiar with Grist.
Is it their purpose to spread misinformation?

No, that is the responsibility of the national and network news!
