    As an American born and raised in Illinois I can also inform the rest of the populace our corn also gets used to make ethanol, an alternative fuel source.

      Ethanol is incredibly inefficient as a fuel source.

      If not for the massive subsidies it would not exist.

      Still, ethanol is a better fuel additive than lead. (Both reduce knocking)

      Still, the far better use is to grow food.
