You buy ethanol free gasoline. REAL GASOLINE has lead in it that is lubricating all those valves and pistons while outgassing a satisfying scent of 102 octane, high compression poison. That's real gasoline, take it from an old timer that can remember 0.32/gal gasoline.

I remember leaded gas. And they pumped your gas. I was always trying to get a job back when I was a kid pumping gas. Beat the shite outta bailing hay.
It's not real gasoline though, the lead was added. So I guess it's just a battle of the additives. Not breathing in lead all the time is probably a bonus.

What if I told you you didn’t have to use ethanol you could use pure gas even today. That graveyard of engines is your fault.

King Corn, from 2007, is a great documentary about the industrial corn business.

Acreage could go back into grazing cattle and sheep. The government has skewed the economics of farming to make ranching far less profitable per acre than corn, soybeans, and sugarcane. More beef and lamb consumption instead of takis, cokes, and bottled oils would be a positive for the health of our population

Same with sugar in this state.
We need to phase out sugar farming in Louisiana.
We'd have cheaper land, better roads, and even though it isn't incredibly expensive, we'd be paying half of what we pay not for sugar.
And maybe we can get a coke with real sugar in it. It's ridiculous you have to leave the US in order to get one of the most American of American products as it was meant to be.

I'll add to rotational grazing would greatly benefit the rebuilding of soil and the underground ecosystems needed to restore fertility to the savannahs.
More beef, less corn? Sign me up!

He just takes the tractor another round
And pulls another government check out of the ground
And sends up another prayer
He says, "lord, I never complain, I never ask why,
Please don't let the tax payers money run dry.

Big Corn pretty much forces HFCS on everyone and pumps that shite into all of our food and drinks we consume.
It's not going to be any healthier if they replace HFCS with cane sugar.

Real cane sugar is less harmful to the body than HFCS.
