Summarize Argument

The author concludes that diverting crops from the food supply to be used as fuel is not truly a radical attack on the food supply, as some people claim. The author supports this with an analogy: crops are already diverted from our food supply to feed livestock. The implication is that because diverting crops for one purpose is an accepted practice, diverting crops for another purpose is not truly "radical."
