World wide shortage of grain fixed easily.......

Much is in the news about Ukraine and Russia being unable to provide grain sales to countries at risk of famine.
Simple solution
Quit converting corn to ethanol in the US for gasoline blending. In terms of corn utilization, ethanol is a huge user. In terms of gasoline supply it would be a fairly small diversion.
Corn for tacos would be easily understood by the masses of folks that vote. The famine concerned countries would be forever grateful. The corn farmers still get a market. The only folks not liking it would be the greenies that feel the worlds population need to go down

There is no grain shortage. China is buying it all and our dickhead criminal leaders are facilitating it.

The US Govt will never stop converting corn to ethanol, so there is no point in thinking it will happen. That money spigot will never be turned off, even if people are dying of starvation in our streets.
The US Govt is now beyond the point in time in which it can serve the best interests of We the People - IMHO we are beyond that point in US History.

I'd love to see the look on your face as you tried to eat feed corn. Not a country baw, huh?

the corn used for ethanol is a strain not approved for humans to eat.

It goes deeper than that. It starts with the essential stuff needed for fertilizer like potash, natural gas etc even before you get to the corn commodity.

Only 1% of the corn grown can be eaten. The rest is No. 2 yellow field corn, which is indigestible to humans and used in animal feed, food supplements and ethanol

IIRC From the field to the end of supper, 30% of the agriculture produced for consumption in this country is wasted and most of us are fat.

There is so much farmland in this country that is either not utilized because of government regulation OR incentive not to utilize it paid to the landowner that if that were opened up there would never be a shortage.
Of course at $5 a gallon diesel it won’t get better either.

We could all go on the keto diet.

Just remember that Ukraine is totally worth all of this.

Those frickers are trying to push for more ethanol use to lower the price of gas
You can’t fix stupid... but you should be able to fire it

So how does Bill Gates’ gobbling up land fit into all of this?

Even if little kids are dying on the streets of the USA, there is not a single Democratic voter that would support this. Letting kids starve to death is simply not even an issue if it comes before some offshoot of green energy.
