Name me one good use for this corn if it were not made into ethanol.
Burn in pellet stoves.


All right... name two.

Feeding the cows?


Nope can't buy that one. First of all, after the ethanol is made from
the carbohydrates in corn the result is a high protein meal that is fed
to cows. But cows don't need to be fed corn at all. There is a
reasonable argument to be made that feeding cheap corn to livestock is
the root cause of the rampant obesity, heart disease and diabetes in the
US. How useful is that?
