Remember how ethanol was blamed for food prices?

Don't worry, the food companies are still making bank:

Remember how everyone blamed ethanol in 2008 for driving up the food prices by way of the increased corn demand? Well folks, corn prices have tanked. Where's the blame on ethanol now?

Re: Remember how ethanol was blamed for food prices?

I don't remember blame being put on ethanol. I'm pretty sure it was 90% oil prices that drove up food costs.

Ethanol is still a retarded idea in the grand scheme of things, but who am I to complain? E85 is the greatest thing since sliced bread for turbo cars.
