Yes, the use of ethanol from corn promotes injustice. By driving up the price of corn, people in poorer parts of the world must suffer even more through increased scarcity. By using corn produced ethanol to fuel our cars, we burn up food which would provide for the life of others.

The trade off between our convenience and the starvation of the poor does not seem just. Why should we be using an essential food product to produce fuel for vehicles? What makes it right that the pedal to the metal means the equivalent of cutting food supplies to those in need? This will never do for it is a form of man's inhumanity to man.
