Honestly, I'm not a target for the book. I've never had a weight problem. Moreover, I hail from wheat country -- the very heart of it. Grew up with wheatfields to the horizon in every direction.

And I've seem the yield target steadily grow from 20 bu/A to over 40 bu/A -- importantly due to steadily improved hybrids.

It’s good you don’t have a weight problem. You probably eat a pretty balanced diet. The truth is most Americans eat too much of it so are those yields really necessary? or merely providing profit for big ag at the expense of American’s health. It is possible to live pretty easily and cheaply without wheat.
