Corn and wheat are two grains that make cows and people fatter.

Cut all grains and refined sugar out of your diet. You will lose weight and be healthy.

Seriously... Mammoth, Irish Elk, Giant Ground Sloth, Mastodon, Wooly Rhinoceros, Giant Beaver...

A whole lot of big game animals went away when things got warmer!!! And “we” used to love eating them!

Damn that global warming of 12-10,000 years ago!!!

As I recall, the upper Midwest (Corn Belt)experienced a spell of warmer growing seasons for several years in succession, during the 1950s, if I remember correctly, and higher crop yields were obtained. Perhaps some Iowa agronomist can substantiate this, or not.

California almonds were a victim of radicals. Irrigation was directed away from crops and into reservoirs to save a fish that was not endangered. Almond farmers cut down the trees and converted the land.

The best way to prepare Brussels sprouts is pitch them out...

Hey!

With enough butter, salt and pepper, you can make sawdust taste good. (maybe a little grated cheese)

And according to any salesman who works off of commission, he's selling a product I need to have.

Didn’t you know? Crop yields have never declined before, ever, in the history of agriculture.

I’ve only got 1 Wooly Mammoth steak left in the freezer so I’m in a panic.

Guess I’ll just have to settle for a Giant Beaver.

Shameless.
Is this some sort of revenge on humanity for being named "Twilight"?
And WHO poses like that and selects it for international distribution?
Liberalism IS a mental disorder.

I guess she didn’t want to talk about these stats...

“... With the existing market consensus that a record large 14 billion bushel (bb) plus U.S. corn crop will occur in 2014, U.S. feedgrain prices have declined steadily as grain buyers have little incentive to aggressively buy corn, leading to weaker U.S. corn prices....”

The “writer” must have spent all of 10 minutes researching this article, not counting the bong hits.
