If the poor Mexicans are almost starving because of the cost of tortillas,

because they aren't growing enough corn...they aren't producing ethanol


Actually if poor Mexicans are starving it's because the cost of corn
imported from the U.S. under free trade agreements is so low it undercuts
small Mexican farmers. That in turn drives Mexicans to come north in search
of work, presumably on those farms growing the corn they can't afford to
grow back home.
