It's also quite a lot of BS.

A McDonald's meal has 2 bushels of corn?? Not. From that, he divines that
it takes 2 gallons of fossil fuel to make a McDonald's meal. More crap.


Enjoyed your analysis and your viewpoint from the farmer's
perspective.

With even a grain (pun intended) of common sense, it should be obvious
that McDonalds isn't going to subsidize each and every meal they serve
by charging FAR less for it than the "reported raw materials" above
cost (imagine the cost if you actually include the packaging, labor,
potato and other food product).

It also assumes that farmers are losing a boatload of money on every
bushel of corn they sell. Nice of them to do that for the rest of us,
huh?

Unfortuately, the kind of nonsense you point out is invisible to a
large segment of the population who'll believe anything they read (as
long as it aligns with their other agendas).
