Only 1% of the corn grown in the US is eaten by people. Most of it is used as animal feed (which is catastrophic on their systems as their stomachs aren’t designed to digest corn, so their corn diet slowly kills them) and a large portion is made into ethanol and added to gasoline. The corn subsidies are so dumb that they require a minimum amount of the corn being grown to be turned into ethanol, which is extremely inefficient.

The Hank Green video someone linked above goes over some of the stuff I mentioned.

Correct. The exact same fascists who are doing this to the USA have explicitly stated that they’re targeting the EU next.
