[MrEdd]

Spoken like a city dweller who never harvested wheat a day in his life.

[NativeSon]

Spoken like a scientist that worked to developed drugs to keep bitter old cusses alive.

and I'll forgive your presumptive leap - I learned to hunt before I learned to ride a bike, we valued meat and corn more than wheat
