 <title>LETTER: ‘Fuel vs. food’ context trivializes ethanol issue</title>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;From Ben Brown&lt;br /&gt;
CEO, Heartland Corn Products, Winthrop&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A firestorm of negative media about the ethanol industry seems to have become the current rage. The issue is usually presented as a moral controversy by casting it in terms of “food vs. fuel.” To portray a complex issue in simplistic moral terms is to trivialize it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyone who has spent any amount of time considering a world with both a growing population and expectations that are rising dramatically understands that it will demand a lot more of both “food and fuel” in the future, not one exclusive of the other.&lt;/p&gt;
