Unintended Consequences: Course 101

With the big push now for corn based ethanol fuels for our automobiles, the surge in demand for corn has:
1. increased corn prices
2. increased other food products that contain corn
3. increased livestock feed prices, thereby increasing the cost of meat and dairy products

and now in an article from the Boston Globe they write that US corn boom threatens sea life because of fertilizer runoff which they claim is polluting the Gulf. Boy, aren't we the brainy ones?
