Yes when I said corn in FOOD I'm also counting the animals we eat that consume corn based feed. Because in the end that feed cost is put into the price of the meat.

Though I am still concerned more with the water issue and corn than rising food prices. Yet I doubt we will start hearing about that issue for a few years to a decade or so.

Well food prices are rising NOW because of this shit. Water may in short supply in places but not because of ethanol. I read were they are making great strides in water desalination. If we can do that the water supply would be endless.
I saw on NBC nightly news a few weeks back about farmers in special government program that were growing saw grass to use in ethanol which looked promising. At the end of the story the news guy mentions the town he was doing the story in and it's 20 miles from me. Hard to believe this place would be on the cutting edge of anything. Hopefully this research pans out.
