The fields being covered aren't being used to grow food for living things, they're being used to grow food for cars. 40% of corn grown in the US is used to make ethanol to dilute gasoline.

And way more area is wasted on feeding animals

And I'll just keep spamming this fact: the amount of land dedicated to growing corn for energy production is more than enough land to cover all energy needs in the US via solar, with land left over to return to nature.

A lot of corn goes for animal feed too
