It's not naive. It takes 10 times more corn to produce animal protein than it would have produced usable plant food for humans.

- qeternity 4y agoWhat does that have to do with anything?? If you're taking inputs that are used to produce food (feedstock, ferts, acreage etc) away from food production, this will create inflationary price pressures. Source: career commodities trader
- 0daystock 4y agoExactly. We're taking 90% of usable food input and feeding it through an extremely inefficient plant-to-animal protein "converter". This is not only causing inflationary food pressure - it's directly responsible for hunger, environmental degradation and unimaginable pollution.
- qeternity 4y agoFine, then argue that there are better ways to produce food. This has nothing to do with ethanol mandate. Stop with these logical fallacies.
