Ethanol and World Hunger
Ethanol and World Hunger
By Elton Camp
When I fill up at the gasoline station
I see about, ethanol, a small notation
Saving gas supplies seems to be right
A thing nobody should want to fight
It’s impact on hunger I didn’t know
But have come to learn it, though
With this new use given to grain
Not enough for food does remain
Grain for ethanol to fill up an SUV
Would feed one man for a year I see
Ethanol distilleries take the corn supply
Far greater profit is the sole reason why
Poorer countries have great reason to fear
That even more starvation for them is near
