World to suffer corn shortage as ethanol demand increases {Autoblog Green}

Nov 30th 2006 5:46PM This is a very serious issue, especially for me and my family. We grow the chickens that many people in the world eat. If there is no corn, there will be no food for the chickens, cows, etc. to eat. This applies to the US and other countries that food is exported to. We are now preparing for a cut back, so this means to many farmers who produce the food that you eat, how will we survive financially? We take a huge financial risk when we start such a business. We never imagined that the corn that is used to make food for animals would ever be taken away to make ethanol fuel. I'm all for a healthy enviroment, but if you are starving to death who cares about clean air--you won't need it for very long!!
