[Spridgets] Re A (sad) tale of ethanol!!!

[kgb at frontiernet.net (kgb at frontiernet.net)]

As an example, just one of the poultry farms in California feeds 13,000 ton of 
corn per day.

Jim and others: It is wayyyy too simplistic to blame hungry people in
central america on ethanol!
First let me say that only a tiny fraction of yellow corn is used for human
consumption.
Secondly when alcohol is distilled from corn only the starch is taken out
and a large part of the corn becomes a high protein feed.
