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.

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.
