"The grain required to fill a 25-gallon SUV gas tank with ethanol, for instance, could feed one person for a year."

Who could live a whole year on 9 bushels of corn? That's about what it would take to make 25 gallons of ethanol. The ethanol producer would also get more than 160 pounds of animal feed and some liquid CO2.
