Also, the inputs (fertilizer, etc) are shared across the entire agri sector.
- drewcon 4y agoYou’re agreeing with me. “Only 1 percent of all corn grown in this country is eaten by humans. The rest is No. 2 yellow field corn, which is indigestible to humans and used in animal feed, food supplements and ethanol.“ https://www.wired.com/2011/06/five-ethanol-myths-busted-2/ https://www.wired.com/2011/06/five-ethanol-myths-busted-2/
- qeternity 4y agoI'm not at all. You posted this verbatim, and I replied lower down. This is a very uninformed take. We still eat the corn. Your implication that this corn isn't consumed by people and thus not a competing with the food supply is absolutely untrue.
