You switched to appeal to emotion instead of supporting your assertion. I've had enough of it, so I'll just stop you here:
1) Only about 9 million people die each year from "hunger and hunger-related diseases," not "tens of millions." So even attributing literally every one of those deaths to ethanol, you're short
2) 75% of families in the poverty circumstances you refer to grow their own food.
3) Undernourishment rates have been declining for decades
2015 World Hunger and Poverty Facts and Statistics by WHES
BBC NEWS | Americas | Leaders warn on biofuels and food
Did you bother to read any of that?
Do you think that the world's poor get their deaths well recorded? Do you think that if they had slightly more resources they might be able to avoid malaria and TB etc.?
Making food expensive will hurt those who cannot afford it. It's very simple. That you will attack anybody who disagrees shows your denialist mentality.
