This is a prime example of misrepresented information regarding corn and its role as a bio fuel. The report incorrectly presents corn as a scarce resource. The viewer is told that the increased usage of ethanol has directly increased price of corn. However, a farmer interviewed discusses that ethanol production has helped to feed his cattle which feed on corn and a byproduct of corn. In addition, the report does not factor in the macroeconomic effects of other goods and services. The reporter distinctively only talks about the division between food and fuel.
