Ethanol from Corn Questioned

It never made sense to me why they would think of taking food from the poor to put gas in our cars. Don't blame high food prices completely on ethanol tries to sort out the answer. People are always looking for a quick fix and don't always look long term at the consequences from their actions. You also can't really tell on things like this because people have their agendas and want you to believe what they do and will lie to get their way.
