..The E85 corn derivative is inedible to humans and is given to livestock as a quick, cheap(er) way of fattening them up (putting more meat on their bones) for slaughter, which actually leads to adverse nutritional properties in the meat itself vs grass-fed. Check out the documentary "King Corn" on a bored night - just don't view all Iowans in the light that the movie sheds on us; we're not all hicks who drive tractors from grandpa's farm :/
