Then we'll also have to talk about feeding that food to an animal also seems dumb, since the conversion rate is so poor (1lb of beef for 6 to 20lbs of corn?)
and this thread implodes in 3,2,1....
Actually, there's a very strong case for replacing Corn with Barley as an animal feed stock. A bit lower in energy, but higher in protein, Barley requires less water and nitrogen (urea) as a crop.
