DON’T BURN YOUR FOOD

What makes you think that the corn that's grown today has nutritional value? Unless you consider high fructose corn syrup to be nutritional.

Corn is used as animal feed to produce meat and dairy. Land that might have been used to grow other grains, such as wheat, rye or oats is now being used to grow corn for ethanol. The policy is insane.

There are many uses for corn.

It is a major ingredient in cold cereals.

It is a major ingredient in your pet foods.

It is used to fatten up beef cattle prior to being processed as food in your grocery store & restaurant.

It is used to feed chickens & produce both eggs & meat.

It is used as feed for swine to creat FOOD.

Then there is the fact that millions of acres of soybeans—alfalfa for feeding dairy cattle to produce MILK—wheat-oats- & other grain items were switched over to CORN production for Ethanol.

That drove up the prices of those items.

When there is a drilling rig on land & the well is productive- a pipeline can carry the crude to the refinery for finished products of many kinds.

When you are processing corn for Ethanol, it must be TRUCKED to the Ethanol refinery- thereby costing more money & producing more CARBON by products that the Greenies hate.

To top off all of these FACTS:

The amount of BTU’s produced by ONE GALLON of Ethanol amounts to 66.66667% of the amount of BTU’s produced by ONE GALLON of simple gasoline.

Therefore, to get the same useful horsepower out of your car/truck engine, you will burn 50 % MORE Ethanol to get the same amount of BTU’s.

All the way around-—==STUPID STUPID STUPID.

YOU DON”T BURN YOUR FOOD SUPPLY!!!!
