The Case for Ending Ethanol Subsidies
"Congress mandated the production of 9 billion gallons of ethanol or other renewable fuels this year; that number will gradually increase until it reaches 36 billion gallons in 2022.

Brown: food crisis is global threat:
"British Prime Minister Gordon Brown says rising food prices pose as great a threat to world prosperity as the global credit crunch. And he's warning that spiraling prices could reverse any progress being made to ease poverty in developing countries."
This is almost entirely driven by ethanol and the enviro-looney lobby.

Good old Walmart has both types.
