While San Fran is fighting the fight the wrong way at the wrong level surely you can see that Federal subsidies whether in Agriculture, Energy, or Banking will lead to concentrations of power and a less flexible economy more given to mass disruption. Corn as a safety net to avoid widespread hunger would seem to be a good idea, but we need to reflect on the true cost.

I would agree completely. The problem is Congress, IMHO, not the corps. If our elected members would begin to do the hard work for the people and stop voting for special interest campaign contributors something may eventually change. Corn is a perfect example, generally speaking, as is ethanol.

Corn is the worlds largest crop. Less than 1% of the corn grown is eaten by humans as corn.

But they are using my money to make Happy Meals cheaper for other people. I'm against that.
