Wheat and Corn

Change is extremely important and we need it now more than ever.

At one time, there was a need to subsidize farmers so they could get through the lean years. Now, farms are corporate and they do not need help from the government. But the government is slow to change. And the corporate farms act like corporations, naturally, so they only care about the bottom line. And what is cheaper to grow? Rows and rows of Wheat and Corn? Or green, leafy, healthy vegetables?

Okay, there is your answer. And the nation gets fatter and fatter on bread and corn syrup. And the government abets this rotundity. We are basically a nation of hogs eating freshly toasted frozen waffles covered with Log Cabin imitation syrup. The corporations are making money and they are killing us.

Oddly, it’s the worst side of communism. The peasants are being fed by cheap, collective government controlled farms.

But in our case, these government subsidized corporations are keeping people barely alive on grain so they can be enslaved and any extra money the slaves make is used to buy plastic shit from China from which American corporations profit (at least at the retail level) mightily.

Yes, it’s The Matrix.

Vote with your mouth. Stop eating wheat and corn. Steam that spinach. Go for a walk.

And let's not forget that the animals we eat are also being fed those grains, helping them to get fat fast and cheaply.
