That post is sort of like "growing thousands of acres of corn to make ethanol which produces less energy when burned than the energy required to produce it is a great way to "reduce global warming""
Subsidize a crop enough that it makes a profit, then come up with a million bullshit uses for it that are ultimately worse than even eating the stuff (a little corn is fine, but making it a primary staple of your diet not so much, too much sugar, and we put it in fucking everything...)
The corn grown en masses in the USA is barely food. A little bit of like original native corn would be good, what is grown today is just sugar and fiber.

Classic government - convert food into a fuel additive instead of using it as food.
