No mention of the damage to the Gulf caused by high nitrate fertilizer run off as a by product of over producing corn. I wonder why?

No mention of the $6 billion in subsidies the rest of us pay out for this boondoggle.

There's a good chance that more damage has been caused by the "Dead Zone" from upstream over-fertilization than the BP oil spill.

Guess which side of this photo is the Dead Zone.

Also, they seem to forget the huge government subsidy that made all these imaginary profits possible.
