You're wasting your time. Much as 14 year old boys believe themselves to be sex experts, the guys you're arguing with have decided they're expert agronomists and nobody who has actually ever raised a crop is going to convince them otherwise.

I have raised a crop, and sold livestock at auction, moreover I am a molecular biologist and understand nutrition and metabolism.

Some people have convinced themselves that carbs are bad bad bad, and no amount of actual data will convince them that a pig shouldn't be on the Atkins diet. Heck they might even think that corn is bad for a pig because of its high fructose content!

So who has “actually raised a crop” here? Or sold a pig at auction? Ever butchered a pig? Ever studied metabolism and the Krebs cycle?

Show of hands?

I have.

Anyone else?
