I think you are confusing sweet corn (for direct human consumtion-eating), with dent corn, which is grown as livestock feed or ethanol. They are very different. BTW, ethanol corn is engineered specifically to produce more ethanol.
You see how moles work, by spreading mis-information to the unexpecting public that intervention is good for you just like salesmen selling stock in a company that uses the full backing of an industry’s domination of a sector. Little people are just an annoyance in the grand scheme of things where more lobbyists are what are really needed to continue the scam. Just ask Congress about it when money is available for some extra perks.
