   It will catch up to them when nothing will finally

   Corn, soybeans, wheat, rye, sugar beets are all   
   not part of a "human appropriate" diet.  It is not what   
   human DNA is programmed to process and not what humans   
   have consumed for the last 250,000 years.   
      
   So now it is catching up to us and we have heart   
   disease, Type 2 diabetes (I am a victim of such),   
   type 3 diabetes (Alzheimer), obesity, etc..   
      
   It does not help that our agriculture department is   
   up for sale.  Grains did not even belong on the   
   food pyramid.  Our ancestors did not eat grains.   
   Or franken fruit for that matter.
