However, the corn used for ethanol production is not human food. After? the
ethanol is fermented the remains of the corn used is still a good animal?
feed.
? Little, if any, feed value is lost and some may be? gained
There is still something wrong with this picture.? Food for animals is
indirectly food for people. And more importantly, growing massive amounts of
corn as feed for animal stock is a horrible example of monoculture industrial
farming and not such a good idea. Returning zero to the soil as every bit of
plant material is used is also not a good idea.? Ethanol is the wrong
solution for our problems and is just another source of profit for the
industrial agriculturalists who are both?destroying the fertility of farmland
at a rapid rate, and who are polluting the waters of North America at a
frightening rate.
