i have an essay question. i need to know if its better to use corn as food or to use it as fuel. if you could just give me a few sentences as to why you think one way is better that would be much appreciated, thankss!
 
The use of corn and other agricultural crops pushes up the demand for those crops, which drives up the prices and pushes them out of the reach of the world's poorest people. Food is more vital than fuel, and fuel has more alternative sources. Consistently higher fuel costs leads to higher profits for producers and more incentive to develop new fuel supplies.
 
It's better to use it as food. Then when you're done eating the kernel, make ethanol from the cobs.
