Ok, yes, but none of that has anything to do with corn AT ALL. Not one iota. The people having rice riots don't eat corn as their staple and never have. Corn does not affect their rice or wheat. At all.

The only place corn affects is Mexico.

ALso, biofuels in Europe come from palm oil, apparently, which starves Indonesians.

I'm not saying biofuels aren't a problem (people should use WVO instead of this other stuff, waste veggie oil), I"m just saying that blaming ethanol for the rice problem is pretty silly.
