Can't recall where I was when I heard this. But most likely it was NPR
since that is what I listen to in my car when not listening to music.

It's been around for a while on various news outlets. I think the NYT
did a short series on the corn shortage in Mexico which is driving up
the price of tortillas so high that the average schmuck can't afford
to buy them.

And I just read this morning about the economic impact on Third World
countries where instead of food, they are changing over to marginal
crops that are good for ethanol but not for food.

Weird.
