I looked it up:)

According to Babcock, Iowa State Univesity, ethanol has added 1.5% to the cost of food in general and significantly higher to meat. Taxpayers foot an additional $5 billion in tax credits.

I am of the opinion that subsidies for ethanol should end, let the market work. As far as Babcock at Iowa State I wouldn’t bet on him having the sense to pound sand in a rathole. I’ve been to college and know those folks. Tick from Meister State says ethanol has decreased food prices 1.5%, so that makes it even.

I’m smiling as I write, so hold the flame.
