its a lose-lose, now since we are using more corn for the ethanol the cost of buying corn to buy i think has even gone up cause the demand has gone up.
I like bacon. When the cost of corn goes up due to increased demand for corn due to ethanol production. The more it cost to feed hogs and other animals which of course means the more my bacon costs. And all this for a product that they mandate at a rate of 10% in my gas, plus or minus. And of course your gas mileage does not remain the same when using this foul product. It's also a product that infiltrates into our groundwater. But it really makes me mad because I like bacon.
Not to mention the tremendous amount of water it takes to make one gallon on ethenol----and potable water is going to be a precious commodity in our kids lifetime

There are definitely ways to recover the water used in the manufacture of ethanol, but none of them are going to make the ethanol any cheaper, that's for sure.
Regular bacon, or Canadian bacon, (which we know as "ham")? They both come from hogs, so I guess it doesn't make any difference, but I couldn't resist the dig!!!
I can understand the concern about bacon. Bacon is very, very important. It is nature's perfect food. Think about it, is there anything that wouldn't be better with some bacon on it? I'm serious, try this: take two pieces of toast, spread peanut butter on one, add a few slices of nice, crisp bacon, put the other piece of toast on to make a sandwich. Take a bite. You will think you died and went to heaven!!!! It's like there's a party in your mouth, and everyone's invited!!!
