Not to defend “biofuels,” but this just isn’t true. World production of grains is at an all-time high and biofuels are just a rich politician’s hobby, representing a miniscule fraction of productive capability.
It’s like saying gas is expensive because NASCAR wastes a lot of it.

**********
NASCAR uses a percentage of fuel production that is miniscule in comparison to the percentage of our corn crop that is used for ethanol. Grain for ethanol is big business, both in the USA and in Brazil. If the ethanol mandate were repealed, the price of corn would plunge, and the prices of product using corn would also drop.
